2008 Front Brake Pads

Anyone know what the gold clips at the bottom of the picture are for?

Probably what I didn't put on and is squealing like a biatch now :doh:

I just changed the originals out ant they didn't have the clips. So I left them out. No squeal but I'm curious as to what they are for?

Looks like wear tabs to me. Starts making contact with the rotor when the pad gets wore to a certain point to let you know it's time to change them.

Yup. If you use them, be sure to put them on the piston side pad.

Agreed with above, I had to order a kit from Napa to get them.

Hardware alone or their pads too? Got a part #? Thanks!

I had went over board and told them I need complete hardware and rebuild kits for all break and e-brake related items so I'm not sure what was what I just seen them in one of the bags I gave to the shop. Checked for the receipts but can not find them sorry.

Only replacement pads that wear worth a *** and don't squeal that I've put on a superduty were oem. Fwiw. And I've put a lot of pads on superduties lol.

I can say Ido not feel the grand I put into breaks was worth it, that's for sure. But then again I just D/D so maybe that's why.

I just did pads and rotors and used all OEM parts. Well worth the money.
