Function
These clips (also known as anti-rattle clips or brake pad retaining clips) are made from pressed steel and are designed to prevent excessive movement of the brake pad in the brake caliper.
They help to minimise the noise, vibration & harshness (NVH) that can happen on the initial engagement of the brake pad to the brake disc.
Cause of failure
The harsh operating conditions that the brake components are exposed to will, over time, contribute to the reduction of tension in the anti-rattle clips.
This will cause movement of the brake pad in the caliper which may be heard or felt. This can also happen if new brake pads are installed with old clips.
Damage can also occur during removal of the brake pads if excessive force is used.
Ideally, the brake pad fitting kit should be replaced at the same time (and every time) as the brake pads, to keep the braking system working as efficiently as possible.
