Vaughany Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 Can someone help me with this, I have recently had my front Brake Pads changed. I noticed that I was getting a clunking/knocking noise when I was braking. This noise only occurred when the car was going forward and was absent when is in reverse. I was informed from a BBS Member that the Brake Pad Retaining Clips may have been put on upside down. I have changed these around and the noise only happens in reverse now. Is this as it should be? The clips are now on with the V shape part of the clip at the top of the caliper with the point of the V pointing out and the top clip hooked over the the top caliper pin. Is this how it should be or have I put this on wrong. Could someone please explain to me the correct setup of how the Brake Pad Retaining clips should go in. Unfortunately I did not change the pads myself so I didnt see the original setup. Youre help in this would be most appreciated, should there be a noise when braking in reverse or is there still a problem. Cheers for the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
