Need Help in Brake Part Identification
Hey Guys! I recently had to replace a seized rear caliper on my wifes 01 maxima. Along with the piston being seized, one of the guide pins was also seized in the bracket so I got a new one. I installed everything, put the new guide pins in and tightened everything up. Now there is this loud rattle from the rear when I hit bumps. I noticed the rattle would stop when I hit the same bumps and pressed the brake pedal. So I think discovered that the caliper has some wiggle. Everything is tight, but I can rotate it slightly. Its almost like the guide pins are snug enough or something. There was also this part which I couldn't figure out what the heck it was for or where it went. I bought the bracket at autozone and the caliper at pepboys. Here is a pic of the part:

That's a spring clip which are usually used to keep the pads from rattling.
I lost one when doing a rear brake job on another car which caused a rattle over bumps but disappeared while braking. |

It's a little hard to see (*B), but it goes between the pads and the top of the caliper (the picture has it rotated 180 degrees):
