Just started driving the car a bit and noticed the front brakes are a little sticky and one side drags a little bit.
After taking a look I realized and remembered that one of these star clips broke before when I removed the calipers the first time. But it was on the side that wasn't dragging. Dragging side has a clip. I assume these are required to drive with? or uneven braking? Car is a 1970. Are these the same for a 911? AA shows part number 901 351 916 16. Are these used in the rear as well? Also says NLA but repros going for $8-$10 a piece...seems really high and I need four.  |

Very necessary but will not cause dragging, the piston is probably sticking in the bore, or the flex line is clogged. You can rivet the clip back together though and avoid purchasing another.
