Abstract
A brake calliper has two arms, each including a housing and a stub. A member for guiding a disc brake pad is disposed in the housing, and is secured by lugs to a front of the stub. The member includes a body having a U-shaped section formed by an inner radial surface, a base, an outer radial surface, and includes a tongue that extends beyond an edge of the body, and that is configured to be hooked in the housing and to fully lock the member in the arm. An inner side of the body is bordered by an inner front supporting surface disposed against an inner surface of the arm. An outer front supporting surface is disposed against the front of the stud, extends into a hairpin damper spring extending towards the front of the stud, and is bordered on each side by a tongue that form side end-stops.
