Rear

COMPONENTS - The rear disc brakes consist of the following components:
^ Disc brake rotors.
^ Hydraulically activated single piston disc brake caliper assemblies.
^ Integral, cable-operated parking brake mechanisms.
^ Rear disc support brackets.
^ Rear brake shoes and linings.
^ Rear wheel brake hoses.
^ LH and RH disc brake adapter.
^ Except for the parking brake mechanism, the disc brake caliper assembly is similar to the front disc brake caliper. The added parking brake lever on the back of the disc brake caliper is cable-operated, by the parking brake control, located below the instrument panel. The caliper parking brake mechanism is self-adjusting.

NOTE: Periodic use of the parking brake is required to adjust the rear disc brakes.

Caliper
^ Bolts to the disc support bracket.
^ Is a slider pin, single piston type.
^ Has an integral cable-operated parking brake mechanism.
^ Has a fluid inlet at the center of the caliper housing bore.

Rotor - The rear disc brake rotors are:
^ A 258 mm (10.16 inch) diameter.
^ Vented, full cast disc brake rotors.
^ Are ventilated with non-directional cooling fins.
^ Are mounted to hub.
^ Are serviced with disc brake caliper and disc support bracket removed.

Support Bracket
^ Bolts to the wheel knuckle.
^ Transmits torque from the brake shoe and lining to the wheel knuckle.

Disc Brake Rotor Shield:
^ Is riveted to the wheel knuckle.
^ Protects the wheel bearings and inboard surface of the disc brake rotor.

The Brake Shoes And Linings:
^ Are housed in the support bracket.
^ Are of a non-asbestos, organic composition.

NOTE: Brake friction materials inherently generate noise and heat to dissipate energy. As a result, occasional squeal is possible, and it is aggravated by severe environmental conditions such as cold, heat, rain, snow, salt, mud and other conditions.
