There has been a god awful squealing noise coming from the rear brakes since I got my car. I assumed it was the shoes being worn down to the rivets and grinding the hell out of the drum (Yeah, I know, that's when it's beyond time to do the brakes lol). Finally, I found the time to take the drums off and have a look, and I was surprised to see that there was plenty of meat left on the shoes and the drums were smooth as silk. I did discover, however, that there is a clip missing from one of the shoes that's apparently supposed to hold the shoe firm and flat against the hub. Without the clip the brakes are still working, but the shoe must be torquing sideways a little bit when the brakes are applied and that's what's been making the squealing noise. I make-shift fixed it with a screw, a couple of washers, and two bolts, but it's probably not going to hold for long. My question is does anybody know where in the hell I can get one of these clips? Anybody have spares laying around? I checked with autozone and they don't include any type of clips with shoes or anything, so ..well, I don't know what to do lol.
