Good Morning,

How the hell do the anti-rattle clips fit on the front brakes? I have
a '93 YJ and am redoing the front brakes. When I took them apart,
there was no clips. Now, I've heard they were not an original item,
but an add-on fix if anyone complained (TSB type of thing).

I have the factory manual, and see a picture, but it's not very clear
on the orientation and exactly what it holds onto.

Could I just skip them since I don't remember any rattling before I
took them apart?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Tony

 

Follow-up:

OK, nevermind on how they go on, I found a better pic in the Hayes
manual (imagine that).

Now, I put them in, and they are rubbing on the rotor. Sounds like I'm
turning the damn rotors as I drive. I think I'm taking them out and
returning them for my $$$ back.

Thanks

Tony

Sounds like you've put them on backwards with the lever/spring
pointed at the rotor. I don't think you have anything to take back. I
used to find them like that all the time, and didn't bother to replace
them.

Hi Bill,

I have the long solid bar facing the rotor, and the open bent ends
facing out towards the back of the jeep. Every picture I've seen
shows it that way and the manual says to keep the open part away from
the rotor.

Am I *** backwards?

THanks

Tony
