Never replaced the retaining clips, I refitted the originals if that is what you mean, I will take the wheels off at the weekend and check, I did get an extension bar in and gave it a once over yesterday to see if they were tight and I couldn't get any movement, the backs of the pads have plenty of copper slip on, my old pads were worn on one side quite badly, I'm wondering if whenever I brake it is pushing the side which is least in contact with the disk closer to the disk, even so it is a metal on metal knock and I'm 100% sure it was not there before I replaced the pads, I replaced the disks a few weeks previously, neither that pads or disks were in bad condition was just trying to eliminate the squealing, thanks for your reply I will give it the once over asap
Ericher i think is the brand, got them from euro car parts, a little update, had the wheel off earlier checked the two bolts, they were fine, got my finger on the pads and they have a little bit of movement, is this normal? Checked over all of my bushes (just visually) looked in good nick, I had a guy in the car earlier and he said it could be a siezed slider? Or a loose caliper? I'm at my wits end with the car to be honest, I'm almost 2k out of pocket in repair bills in a year and a half, + the few k I have spent in making it my own.
