Abstract

The invention relates to a disk brake for a motor vehicle brake system having a frame-type housing, at least two brake pad arrangements, which are accommodated in the frame-type housing and between which a brake disk that is rotatable about an axis of rotation may be accommodated, and at least two guide bolts, which are mounted on the housing and on which at least one of the brake pad arrangements is guided with play in an axially displaceable manner. To avoid undesirable noises in this disk brake it is provided that on the brake pad arrangement guided on the guide bolts at least one spring element is mounted, which biases said brake pad arrangement relative to the guide bolts into a position corresponding to a tilting movement that results during braking of the brake disk from a braking torque acting on the brake pad arrangement.
