Wrong clip definately. Rock Auto probably listed it as the correct clip but...

are they the same as the rear? I have another set that look like rear clips buy they wont stay in too short. Eria do you have front ones available? Im tired of paying for the wrong ones.

I thought the clip looked unusual. I don't have a car handy, but I checked a Haynes manual and the clip it shows is definately different and is what I recall is on my car.

I just pulled the front wheels from a car this morning and because of this thread I looked at the clips. Well, I'll be damned! there were the same clips as his. They fit perfectly and hold the pads just fine. Its just a different design. I've seen several of the OE clips that have come apart at the "rivet" point and some that have even broken in half. This looks like a better design than the OE and should last longer. I say use them.
