Brake Systems - KELSEY-HAYES (Except Ford) Single Piston Disc: Description

NOTE: Late 1972 Furys, Polaras, Monacos and Chryslers equipped with disc brakes use a new one piece hub and disc assembly. This new assembly cannot be used in place of the old assembly.

Single piston, floating caliper ventilated disc type, actuated by hydraulic system. Disc (rotor) is fixed to front wheel hub. Adapter plate is bolted to spindle arm. Caliper assembly floats through four rubber bushings on two steel guide pins threaded into adapter. Single cylinder bore contains piston with molded rubber dust boot which seals cylinder bore and returns piston to released position. Rubber piston seal provides seal between cylinder and piston. Guide pins are used to radially locate and restrain both shoes. Balanced braking between front and rear brakes is accomplished by a pressure metering valve.
