Hopping right brakes
My passenger side brakes started hopping today, It feels like a warped rotor, but as I recall when I checked the brakes they were missing the wishbone wire clips that are supposed to be on there. They rattle over bumps so I figure I need to get a brake kit with those spring clips. Ordered one from Auto Zone for $16.00 it has the springs and the other parts for keeping the brake pads tight in there. The Dealer wants $36 just for the wishbone spring clips! Never can tell how the prices will run.
I am wondering if not having those clips in there could cause a bad rotor but more likely is allowing the pads to bind a bit on braking. The clips weren't on there at all when I bought the car and the rotors felt fine till today other than chinging a bit over bumps. Just wondering what your thoughts are of the effects of not having those wishbone wire clips on there might be over the long run?
