LINCOLN-MERCURY 1982-84 CONTINENTAL; 1984 MARK VII

To service subject vehicles experiencing front brake caliper rattle on rough roads, an anti-rattle clip, part no. E4LY-2B164-B, should be installed on the outer brake shoe of each front caliper.

FIGURE 2:

1. Remove the wheel and tire assemblies.
2. Install new front shoe and lining assemblies with new caliper locating pins.
3. Install one caliper anti-rattle clip to each front caliper on the trailing edge of each outer brake shoe and the caliper locating pin as follows (See Figure 2):

NOTE: If the wear indicator attaching rivet forces the inner (closest to rotor) clip finger toward the rotor, flatten the rivet to eliminate interference to the clip.
a) Position the anti-rattle clip over the outer brake shoe and wear indicator so that the open ends (fingers) of the clip face upward and toward the caliper locating pin.
b) With the clip straddling the brake shoe, position the closed end of the clip against the caliper housing.
c) Push down on the open ends of the clip (fingers) to snap the clip into position over the caliper locating pin.
