Juke brake pads

[phillpot]

Pads I took out had a clip on each pad, new set only had it on one pad?

guessing it's not the "end of the World" ? Does it just make earth connection for wear light or something?

Things like this are generally "anti chatter" springs & are normally (not always) on the slider rather than caliper piston side if just on one.

Only got one on one of the four pads, not one each side!

So you have three pads with no clips, and one pad that's different? Sounds like a QC problem to me.

Are they not wear indicators?

I was under the impression that when the lining is down to a couple of mil they contact the disc and make a god awful noise.

This is the correct answer.

Can you explain how those clips would contact the disc? I don't see it.

There's a reason you don't see it. It's because it's bks.

OP, they're there to stop the pads squealing (anti-chatter as posted above). You could make a case for them only being on 2 pads but just 1 is clearly an issue.

No it is not.

Well bugger me!!!

Good shout.

I haven't encountered those before. Maybe that explains why they're only fitted to one pad, on the assumption that all the pads will wear evenly.

So as opposed to anti-chatter springs they are pro-chatter springs, new one on me too, every day is a school day.

Maybe a Japanese thing - Hondas have them.

Thanks for all your inputs, particularly those who were correct!
