Front disc brakes with floating caliper






As mentioned, the car on the front and rear wheels are disc brakes with floating caliper. The mechanism of this type is composed of the caliper bracket and the cylinder barrel that is attached to the inner side of the wheel and which has a single piston.
During braking, the piston presses the first attached thereto to the disc brake pad, then the whole floating caliper bracket starts to move against the direction of pressure generated by the guide pin, whereby the brake disc is pressed against the outer shoe.
