Front Disc Brake System
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Lincoln Navigator and 2005 Ford Expedition. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
On front disc brake systems:
- the disc brake caliper bolts to the front disc brake caliper anchor plate.
- the front disc brake caliper anchor plate bolts to the front wheel knuckle.
- a separate brake disc attaches to the wheel hub.
The disc brake caliper:
- is a pin slider, dual piston type.
- housing has a fluid inlet at the center of the bore. A square section seal fitted into an annular groove in the caliper cylinder bore seals against hydraulic pressure, while rubber boots seal the caliper pistons and caliper bore from contamination.
The brake disc shield:
- bolts to the front wheel knuckle.
- protects the inboard surface of the brake disc.
The pads are:
- contained within the front disc brake caliper anchor plate.
- held to the front disc brake caliper anchor plate abutments by disc brake anti-rattle clips.
