When installiing new disc brakes and rotors, we inadvertently broke one of the metal clip/clasp, which was attached to the old brakes and with the caliper. (Each wheel only had one of these clips/clasps.) Braking and stopping seems fine, with all wheels, but must i replace this part asap. A friend thought that it might affect my braking when backing up, not so much when going forward. This metal clip resembles a giant paper clip, but of course much more thicker.
If needed, can this part be ordered or is it part of a Le Braon brake kit and/or would it be adequate to obtain a replacement from a junk yard?? What purpose does this part serve?
Thank You,
