Return springs for front disk brakes

Some vehicles do not use clips for brake pads. Most do. Yours obviously requires them because they are in the manual. Many economy pad sets from the parts store do not include the clips. Get premium pads. They usually include the clips. If not, purchase the front brake hardware kit. The clips will be in that. Clips are important because they allow the pads to move freely. If they stick, they will cause rapid pad wear and ruin the rotors. They also prevent the pads from wearing out the bracket. A worn bracket will cause the pads to stick as well. Be sure to clean bracket under where the clips go very thoroughly. Many times they appear to be clean and they are not. In rust belt areas and on a car this old a wire brush or wire wheel may not be enough to adequately clean them.
