Note. Brake system materials inherently generate heat in order to dissipate energy. As a result, occasional squeal is possible, which may be compounded by severe environmental conditions, such as cold, heat, rain, snow, salt and mud.
The front disc brake system consists of the following components
- Brake pads.
- Single piston, floating brake calipers.
- Brake discs.
- Brake caliper anchor plates.
- Brake hoses.
The brake caliper has two retaining bolts that attach it to the brake caliper anchor plate. The brake caliper anchor plate is attached to the wheel knuckle with two retaining bolts. The hydraulic system provides separate circuits for each pair of diagonally opposed wheels (i.e. left front, right rear and right front, left rear).
The brake disc is manufactured from cast iron and is of the vented type. It is retained on the wheel hub studs by the wheel and wheel nuts.
The brake calipers are mounted on the wheel knuckles. These are of single, sliding piston type which ensures that equal effort is applied through both brake pads.
