Front Disc Brake

Front Disc Brake

Overview
Standard Brakes
The standard front braking system used on naturally aspirated vehicles features 326 mm (12.83 in.) diameter x 30 mm (1.18 in.) thick ventilated brake discs and cast iron, single piston, sliding calipers. The brake disc is also manufactured from cast iron. The brake disc is retained on the wheel hub by two washers and the wheel nuts.
The caliper is mounted within a fixed carrier that is secured to the front wheel knuckle with two bolts. When hydraulic pressure is supplied to the caliper, the piston extends to force the inner pad against the brake disc. The caliper reacts and slides along two guide pins to bring the outer pad into contact with the brake disc.
Each inboard brake pad is installed with a pressed steel anti-rattle spring. There is no wear indicator installed in the brake pads.
Performance Brakes
The performance front braking system used on vehicles with supercharger features 355 mm (13.98 in.) diameter x 32 mm (1.26 in.) thick ventilated brake discs and composite aluminum and cast iron, single piston and sliding calipers. The brake disc is manufactured from cast iron. The brake disc is retained on the wheel hub by two washers and the wheel nuts.
