  • Is this clip important?

    I finally started tearing down and prepping my ls1 brake conversion parts for paint, and noticed one of my calipers is missing a clip..I'd imagine it has to do with placement of the pads..should I see if I can get myself another one, or is it not vital? Doesn't look like it would do much.

    I'm not 100% on this, but I believe that it's an anti-rattle clip. It keeps pressure on the pads to keep them from squealing.

    Give me a few minutes. I may be able to find a replacement...

    Found them. $1.51 each http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/rafr...1&a=FR42-26211

          Yes, they will squeal like the little piggy that they are :D

          Rock Auto makes their deliveries very fast though! At least to my house they do. I'm talking within 2-3 day later, I had the parts in-hand. I've ordered about 5 different times with them over the past 8 months, and my parts were at my door exceptionally fast.

            I am pretty sure when I got new pads they came with those. I think I got my pads at autozone. Do you still have to buy pads?

                            I emailed Rockauto service Dept to see if they can cancel the order before it ships out. being that I ordered it friday night and it's a holiday weekend, they might get the email before they ship it, who knows.

                              Still need that clip? Didn't catch them in time to stop the shipping process. I'm thinking it ain't worth sending back.
