I'm pretty sure those clips are the cause of my clunking because the pads don't stay in place

Outlaw Star

Got a pic? If not, I'll send ya one of my calipers. The outer pad should be tight against the caliper, if not, bend the tabs till it does. As for the inside (piston side) it too should be tight against the piston. If not.....you guessed it, bend the tabs till it does.
Now there is a "Anti-rattle" plate/tab that goes inside the caliper, on the top. Same thing, bend/tweak it until it's snug.

Figured it out

in the pic it's positioned wrong but it's fixed...

Outlaw Star

Ok, you have that style. If the clips are now on right, there's nothing much you can do except tweak that clip.

Yeah what I might do later in the year is pick up new to me(junkyard) 93+ knuckles and "upgrade" to the newer style brake calipers and pads...

Outlaw Star

I did that to my old Xj for the larger piston caliper mainly.

There's a bigger caliper? Wj swap?
Or the xj calipers? I thought they were the same just different design on eliminating the brake pad clips(anti-rattle clips)

Outlaw Star

Later model Xjs, think its 94+, have a slightly larger (not by much but bigger) piston. This was to compliment the larger vacuum booster w/ABS.
