Brake Pad clip questions!!!

SanteeRuss · #1 (**permalink**) 04-21-2008, 08:38 AM

I have a 1998 Tacoma and just found out that I'm missing the disk brake pad clips. I changed the pads a few months ago (115K miles & 3rd. set of pads) and there weren't any clips. The first brake job was done at Pepboys & I suspect they didn't replace the clips. I now have a rattle when I go over an uneven surface and not applying brake. My questions are:

1. How much do the clips run & are they hard to put on?
2. Will they still work with aftermarket pads, or only w/ OEM?

Thanks!!

The clips shouldn't be too bad. They should work with aftermarket pads too.

Thanks, I'll drive my the stealership and pick up a set. I may have to brouse a Chiltons or Haynes to see how they go on though..

2003 Toyota Tacoma

It's for an 03 tacoma, but the braking systems should be very close if not identical. They only changed body styles in the Tacoma from 95-04.
