Disc brakes work as a system, and the abutment clips give the pads a clean, corrosion-resistant surface to slide against so they move in a uniform, stable motion instead of sticking or rattling. Fresh hardware helps the pads seat and release properly, which can reduce brake noise and uneven pad wear. If the original clips are corroded, distorted, or missing, replacing them during a pad job helps restore the correct pad movement. Country of origin: United States.
