Front brake pads
I've a 92 f150 2wd i just put new brake pads on it and they rattled so i went and bought clips to hold them still(it didn't have any on it), and i can't figure out how they go on. So if anyone can tell me how they go on or send me pictures of what to do i would truly appreciate it.

Front brake pads
hi, I just changed my pads on my '93 4x4, it only had 1 clip. the clip was on the end of the pad with the tail end facing away from the rotor. Hope this helps. I still need to get new clips since the old pad that had no clips had worn down and actually slipped between the rotor and caliper and jammed up

I got some pix and can scan them,( haynes repair manual #36058)
I am not sure how to e-mail to you.If you have a public library you should check out what they have for auto repair. I take Chilton's books out of my library, fix my vehicle, and then return the book.

Hope these will help, it's a little hard to make out the clips in the first one. It might be easier to picture having the clips in hand.

Of course the really good ones from when I changed my pads won't be up for a long time. I miss not having the digital camera.
Good luck
Jeff

I have a '92F150 4.9L. The rattle clips on my brake pads attach to the bottom of the pad with the spring action part of the clip on the bottom. When you install the pads the clip helps to snug the top of the pad into the caliper houseing. Hope this helps. I know the clips can sometimes be a little awkward.

Check your personal e-mail you should have a good pic of the clip.
If you have the front caliper that is held in by two sliding clips, this is the right pic.
