Reply With QuoteAre you referring to a shim? That is a metal plate that attaches to the back
of the pad. They are normally reused, but often are lost or forgotten.

2003 Lancer Brakes
All,
I recently replaced my brakes and noticed that one of the front brake
pads had a Clip that the same brake on the other side did not. It was C
Shaped and attached to the Break Pad.
Could somebody please tell me what the purpose of this clip is and where
it goes.... I am assuming the missing clip popped off somewhere while
driving.
Thanks

Re: 2003 Lancer Brakes
Forgot to add an explaination...A shim is used to minimize movement of the
pad in the caliper and reduce squeaking. If you don't have squeaking, don't
worry....you should have both or none on there though...

The clip is a brake pad wear detector ,Its function is to cause a high
pitched squeal when your pads are worn down,
Its only fitted to the drivers side on some models

My guess would be that it's not the shim, but perhaps the wear indicator
on one end of the pad.
