    Abstract: The invention relates to an assembly comprising a friction pad (A), a spring (B) and a wear indicator (C) for a motor vehicle disc brake. The friction pad (A) includes a carrier plate (10) received with anchorage and sliding in a torque-withstanding member (16) of the disc brake, a friction lining (12) being fixed to a part of the surface of a first face of the carrier plate (10) to enter into frictional contact with a rotating disc (22) when a force is applied to a second face of the carrier plate (10) opposite the first face. A through-opening (24) is formed in the carrier plate (10) for fixing a helical part (30) of the spring (B), this part being formed of at least one turn of metal wire and of a fitting part (46) of the wear indicator (C) of the friction lining (12) passing through the helical part (30) of the spring (B).
