Porsche Brake Pad Retaining Clip Set - Genuine Porsche 9P1615157

Product Information

A disc brake pad retaining clip (also known as a brake pad retaining spring or anti-rattle clip) is a small metal component that helps secure the brake pads in place within the brake caliper assembly. The clip holds the brake pads tightly against the caliper bracket, preventing them from moving around or rattling. In addition to reducing brake noise, the clip also helps ensure even pad wear and consistent brake performance.

• Rattling or Clicking Noises: If the retaining clip is damaged or missing, you may hear rattling, clicking, or clunking noises from the brakes, especially when going over bumps or during low-speed driving. This is often due to the brake pads shifting within the caliper
• Uneven or Premature Brake Pad Wear: Without a functioning clip, the brake pads may not stay properly aligned with the rotor, causing uneven or accelerated wear on the pads, which can reduce braking efficiency and require more frequent pad replacement

About Genuine Porsche

The original parts used by Porsche to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine Porsche” brand. Manufactured under the direction of Porsche, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are exclusively available through the Porsche Dealership network.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your Porsche are not necessarily manufactured by Porsche. No cause for concern, as Porsche designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for Porsche for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine Porsche parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a Porsche logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming direct from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
