Caliper Problem - PICS
Hey Guys,
Been raining the last few days. Today had the window rolled down and I heard some rubbing coming from the front left, stopped to check it out, and something has happened to the caliper. Looks like a piece of metal is sticking down, making contact with the wheel itself, and carving into the wheel.. Whats everyone opinon on what happened?

Seems that the back half of it is loose![nix](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/nixweiss.gif)
Remove the wheel to inspect it a little further b/f you damage the wheel & or the caliper.

Having just replaced my own pads and rotors the other day, I concur. The pin worked its way out and what you are seeing is the tab on the pad itself. You need to get this taken care of right away. I'd just go to your local dealer for that pin.

yeah, i'd pickup the whole lot. 2 pins and the retainer clip. Depending on cost, I'd be paranoid enough to buy one set for each side.

Yes. I would drive ANOTHER car to the dealer. You can do some damage and maybe lose braking.

Found the pins online at http://www.autopartswarehouse.com/de...3-1716469.html
Where can I find the retainer Clip?
