Rear Brake Pad Clip

[besty78]

hey guys

whilst painting my rear calipers i noticed that the clip on the rear drivers side (the clip that sits under the pin and holds the top half of the pads in place) was missing , when i go over a bump i can hear a slight knocking noise which i think is the pads moving in the caliper , the pin holds the pads in the caliper but the top half rocks on the pin without the clip or whatever it is called , do these clips come with the pads when you buy new ones? has anyone got a spare that they would like to sell me ?

thanks guys.

i did indeed , went away as soon as a clip was fitted - i went to a scrappy cos i thought the clip was only available as part of a fitting clip set costing about £70 from lexus but i read since then you can order a clip on its own from main dealer much cheaper - sorry dont have the part no but pop in a lex dealer and theyll dig it out and a price pretty quick im sure
