Honda Civic (FK / FB7) Front Brake Pad Abutment Clip / Anti-Rattle Shim Set (OEM: 45237-S7A-N02)

Honda Civic (FK / FB7) Front Brake Pad Abutment Clip / Anti-Rattle Shim Set (OEM: 45237-S7A-N02)

Engineered specifically for the front brake caliper assemblies of Honda Civic (FK / FB7 chassis) vehicles, this Front Brake Pad Abutment Clip / Anti-Rattle Guide Hardware Set (OEM: 45237-S7A-N02) ensures smooth pad alignment, eliminates brake squeal, and prevents clattering noises inside the caliper bracket.

Over time, exposure to intense friction heat, moisture, road salt, and brake dust causes original pad hardware clips to corrode, lose tension, or warp. Damaged clips lead to pad dragging, uneven pad wear, and annoying squeaking or rattling sounds during driving. Replacing hardware alongside brake service restores whisper-quiet operation and smooth pad sliding action.

Why Is Replacing Brake Pad Clips Essential?

• Eliminates Squeals & Vibrations: Dampens high-frequency resonance generated between the pad backing plate and caliper bracket during braking.

• Ensures Even Pad Wear: Keeps the brake pads perfectly parallel to the brake disc, preventing tapered or uneven friction wear.

• Prevents Rattling & Clattering: Secures pads tightly within the bracket to eliminate metallic noises over bumps and rough terrain.

• Smooth Pad Drag Reduction: Premium stainless steel surface allows pads to retract cleanly when the pedal is released.

Symptoms of Worn or Damaged Brake Pad Clips

• Brake Squeal Under Light Braking: Loss of vibration damping leading to high-pitched squeaking.

• Metallic Rattling Over Bumps: Loose pads clattering against the caliper bracket when brakes are not applied.

• Premature or Uneven Pad Wear: Pads binding in rusted clips and dragging constantly against the brake rotor.
