Anti Rattle Clips Installation
Hey everybody. I mostly lurk here, but this is great forum, and has been very useful to me over the past couple of years. I recently did a front brake job on my '94 XLT 4x4. I now have noticed a slight metallic 'ping/clang' noise and am fairly certain it's because I did not put AR clips on the inside pads. The noise disappears whenever I touch the brake pedal.

Each pad manufacturer has their own design of 'anti-rattle' clips. Mine had a clip that fit inside the caliper and puts pressure on both pads toward the rotor. I know of people who have installed new pads without any clips at all and gotten away with it.

Best way to describe this noise is it's as if you were tapping on the disc with a hammer. I've searched google, this forum, and Glacier's EXCELLENT tutorial on 1st gen brakes, but have not seen any pic that shows this clip and/or where/how it's installed on the inner pad, at least specific to the 1st gen Explorer's pad. I DID purchase from AutoZone a new caliper hardware kit that had the 4 metal/rubber retainer pins. There were also 2 small clip-looking things in the hardware bag, but the guys at AZ thought they were 'squeal' clips that scrape the disc when the pads wear thin, giving audible warning that the pads are due to be replaced.

I've never used that type of 'squeal' clip on any brake job before, so thinking they were optional, I just tossed them, along with the old pins. Now, I'm thinking they were in fact the AR clips, and should have been installed. And this is what is now causing this noise. At the risk of redundancy.does anyone have a pic of these clips, and where they are to be installed? I suppose the inner pad will NOT fall out, as it's retained by the grooves in the caliper bracket and the piston.
But it's annoying, especially following an otherwise good, new brake job. Thanks in advance. .I, just this week, installed new front pads again on my 91 X and did not receive those clips.I haven't noticed any rattling from them but will be sure to listen for it. QUOTE] Tbars, through all the brake jobs I've ever done, I've never gotten any clips either.
It's becaue these clips are good for so long, that usually you can just re-use the clips. I had to specifically ask for them when I needed mine a few years ago. My last brake job though, I used Performance Friction Carbon Metallic pads, and I was not able to use the rattle clips, it was to much to try and stuff them in, so I left mine off. The pedal pulses more like ABS kicking in, but I've lightened my food action and it's been fine.

Brake Pad Rattle I can hear a brake pad rattle noise from my cars brakes and want to know what this is? Brake pad rattle or rattling brakes can be caused by a number of things and the first thing is to carefully check that you have the correct parts for your car. Many brake pads look similar in design and it is easy to get supplied the wrong parts. Using the wrong parts that are undersize can be dangerous as the brake rattle if excessive could mean the pads moving in the caliper and becoming even jammed and not operating properly. Brake pad rattle can also lead to the pads skewing sideways and locking in the caliper causing the backing plates to be bent and the friction material to be broken away and cause immense problems.
