What part am I missing?

[daniel3507]

Currently, my passenger side brakes look like this,

We all know that they should look like this,

My question, what parts am i needing/missing?

It's been a while since I've done brakes. What I see missing is the 'squeal spring', the piece that when the pad wears down enough, contacts the rotor and squeals with an irritatingly high squeal until you take a sledge-hammer to the truck. Also missing is a manual to help you identify missing parts and the order they are installed.

It is the anti-rattle clip. You can get these at Autozone as a "brake hardware kit", or some of the better pads actually come with them in the box.

I just looked up the hardware kit. It also comes with new sliders, and it's 8 bucks here. The P/N is H5653.

Awesome. Tgank you! I think I also need that black piece as well and I hope I can get it without having ro get new pads since they are new. I can't find anything about though in my books

I didn't really see that black piece before. You are meaning the thin piece with a hole in it, correct? It looks like an anti-rattle/squeal device that is mounted on the back of the pad. If they are lifetime pads, I'd take them back in and get new pads.

EDIT: You may also be able to put a thin coat of RTV on it, and put it back on the pad.

Yeah thats the piece. Im pretty sure it didnt come with the pads. They are EBC if it makes a difference.

I know this isn't a Ranger, but this illustrates what I'm talking about. It had to have come with your pads.

Yeah thats it. I guess it did come with the pads. Crap

EDIT: It wont let me rep you, so I owe you one haha

I talked to EBC and they are sending me replacement shims. They said they use fiberglass ones now.

 

[shane96ranger]

I noticed the Duralast Gold pads we just put on my Brothers Escape were fiberglass/phenolic as well.

Is EBC sending them for free?

EDIT: Just an FYI that the Duralast shims are actually mounted to the pad. I wonder why EBC doesn't do the same?

 

[daniel3507]

Yeah they are sending them for free since the pads are less than a year old. Im not sure why they arent mounted to the pad. Would have saved me some problems that way.
