Front Disc Brakes

The front wheel brakes utilize a dual piston brake caliper and disc brake system. See Figure. The front disc brake caliper bolts to the front disc brake caliper anchor plate, which bolts to the front wheel spindle, is a dual piston, pin slider design and has a fluid inlet at the center of the caliper housing.

The front disc brake rotors are of a ventilated full-cast design, with non-directional cooling fins. The rotors are mounted to the front wheel spindle and are serviced with the disc brake caliper and front disc brake caliper anchor plate removed. The front disc brake rotor shield is bolted to the front wheel spindle and protects the front wheel bearings and inboard surface of the front disc brake rotor. The front brake pads are housed in the front disc brake caliper anchor plate and are of a non-asbestos, semi-metallic composition.
