Thanks for the tips guys,
Here's something scary...........
Yesterday when I was trying to install those nasty clips I discovered the
bolts holding the strut rod to the lower control arm were loose on the
passenger side, probably been that way for two or more summers, I rebuilt
the front end two or three summers ago, maybe forgot to tighten those bolts,
one nut was finger tight the other was a bit tighter. Amazes me how lucky I
was not to have that come apart on the highway. Thank you Jesus...........
I'm afraid to look at the drivers side...........
I think most of my front end clunk going over bumps was from those loose
bolts. I could move the steering travel limiter bracket with my
hands..........
It was trying to tell me for three years to look at it......
Any way I certainly hope with the info I got from Dave and Mark that all
will be good.
Thanks again,

Armand

> IIRC, those are the ones you have to hammer the tabs on the outer pad to
create a bind to clamp that pad tightly to the caliper. The inner only uses
one spring clip on the trailing edge to hold the pad forward. Not very high
tech, but very effective.
