Topic #51874 5 posts Started by xs94st
ey guys so i jus replaced my brakes n there wasnt that x shaped clip in place. (drivers side) what is this thing? i seen it on a diagram somewhere on the site, but i dont know what it is for and if it is necessary for the brake to work properly. i have yet to look at the passenger side cuz i ended up goin out for dinner with the gf.

thnx in advance guys

Those clips must be in place otherwise there will be play twixt the caliper carrier and the pads.
