I’m out in Wyoming on a road trip about to drive back to NY in 2 days. Today I noticed a scraping sound from my front brake and found that the flimsy rusty POS dust shield had given out and was caught up in the wheel.
I was able to rip it out but then noticed that the clip for the brake pads had broken and was jamming into the wheel as well.
These are Tundra 199mm calipers and I actually just installed them about 2 months ago.
All other components are in tact.
How essential is that clip to brake performance? If it’s essential then I will try to source another.
I also want to know if I’d be okay to drive 10 miles to an auto parts store without the clip.
Thanks
