I HAVE A 1988 REAREND WITH DISC BRAKES AND NOTICED THAT THE INNER BRAKE PADS RATTLE. I UNDERSTAND FROM THE DEALERSHIP THAT AN ANTI-RATTLE CLIP CAN BE PURCHASED THAT LOOKS LIKE A CIRCULAR-SHAPED WIRE AND APPEARS TO MOUNT TO A GROOVE AROUND THE CALIPER PISTON END. HOWEVER, WHEN THE DEALERSHIP ORDERED THESE CLIPS A DIFFERENT VERSION WAS SENT (SAME PART NUMBER) AND LOOK NOTHING AT ALL LIKE THE PICTURE SHOWN TO ME BY THE DEALERSHIP. THESE CLIPS LOOK LIKE A ROUND STEEL RING WITH FOUR TABS ON THE INSIDE OF THE RING AND FOUR TABS ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE RING. I AM WANTING TO FIND OUT HOW THESE WOULD MOUNT OR IF THEY ARE EVEN WHAT I NEED. IF THEY ARE NOT WHAT I NEED THEN HOW CAN I GET THE CORRECT ANTI-RATTLE CLIPS? THANX!

 

i have some extra clips from my old brakes if you want them . my aim name is vejatabul.

 

Yes GM changed the design of the clip from a spring temper wire to a sheet metal clip. As I recall the angle tabs hold onto the base of the pad.

hmm, maybe thats what my rattle is, same deal with the front disk brakes?

 

i have the same issue with missing rear disk hardware ive seen kits fom the parts stores but have to order them. how to tell if im ordering the right ones??

 

where can i pick up some anti rattle springs, im missing them in the rear also .....and i have a heart attack everytime i hit a pothole, or drive by a hot chick while the brakes make that clang clanging sound. dang women. also, do new rear pads come with it?

One kit comes with enough hardware parts to do both rear calipers. Hope that helps.

 

i tried advance auto parts but they arnt west coast, and they stopped shipping. the dealership doesnt have the caliper rebuild kit for them either. im stuck. im just going to hell.

 

i found a rebuild kit for back calipers. I tried friday to order them, but the GM parts dude i usually go through wasnt there, just some a hole making it awkward. He put in the number and didnt find it until the third time, then i wasnt sure if it was the rite part. but i forgot the rear cylinder is actually called a actualator. Now im goin to try again and i read if the brakes make noise, its because they were redone wrong. im supposed to turn the piston not c clamp it.. anyways monday ill order. GM#18019028
