Know then wire clipe things on front brake calipers.

dont know what you call em

How inmporting are they ?

and what do they do

as Im just just car up on axel stands cleaning up brakes /ainting calipers and fitting new pads

last set of pad was done by garage as I couldent do em due to weather at the time and a bad back

Iv just noticed the clowns havent put em back on

[Jinglemaster2]

Anti rattle.

[Shackeng]

You are not referring to the wear indicator wires are you? :-/

[feeutfo]

There are wire springs on the pads, these stop the pads rattling in the calliper, if missing they fitted the wrong pads.

There are electrical wire sensors on the brakes to detect the low pad wear.

To which do you refer?

[tidla]

Anti rattle.

 

Recon some other members have got one of these missing as well
 

[dragonlord]

not wear sensors
sorted them to tight to fit two so I decided to short pasanger side

and just fit a new one on drivers site

so It looks like Im meaning the ainti rattel things

The OP logged in to the Omega Owners Forum and asked for help identifying a spring on his brake caliper.

After a series of posts the OP remembered that he drives a Cavalier.

No the omega doesn't have them   the anti rattle springs on the omega are the ones on the pads. where as the one fitted to the cav clips into the caliper and holds it against the carrier..
