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.  |

Those parts are Essential for proper braking, and to push Back the pad, to prevent the brakes from overheating/ rapid pad wear/warped rotors etc....they are hard to find, and their are complete kits with cross pins and clips...The front and rear are different...With all due respect they ARE necessary if you appreciate good breaking. I dont recommend reusing /repairing the old parts., as over time and heat they take a "set" and loose their tension..............................................AA used to carry them under part number.....R90135191616..(expanding spring set-front)......AND....R311615269 (expanding spring set-rear). |
