HI, i was wondering if there's anyone out there that can help me with this one,

So a week or so ago i did my brake job, changed all 4 brakes, i decided to bleed the brake fluid also, so i did the right back and front ones and it seemed fine, as i got to the driver side front tire when trying to loosen the bolt thing to bleed the brake fluid since the caliper was old i guess that tip broke off leaving half of it inside, so i went ahead and purchased a new caliper for it and replaced it and put back everything as before..i decided to not bleed the back left .now i have couple of issues, and questions..

1, the front right and left rotors didnt have the screw on the which keeps the rotos right so im assuming someone before me or dealership did the brake job and didnt put them back in, are those necessary?

2, the car started to have a shake to it when reaching at about 40mph or so and also pulling to the right slighly

so i took it to the shop and had them redo the balancing on the tires and also the alignment but that didnt seem to help, what you guys think the problem would be?

i have these 2 clips (or whatever u wanna call these) which came with the new caliper and since i didnt take some off from old ones i didnt know where these should go on the new one would you guys have any idea and also are they necessary or not really? (pictures are included)


i really appreciate any help from you guys, thanks..

1. Yes someone left the screws out.
2. Are the rotors sitting flat on the hub? Maybe there might be a small piece of rust between the 2 or something.

Those clips are supposed to go in the inboard pads in the front one each side. They are the wear indicators/squeelers.

As long as you keep an eye on the pad wear you do not need them.

 

thanks for the respond,

i thought that they did too since the back ones had them on and the front ones didnt, someone told me they do that on purpose cuz like if they wear out at the tip and you cant get it out thats bigger problem then just to leave them off...

someone mentioned the wheel bearing or the tie rod can cause the slight pull to the right and the other issues with it, what do you think?
is there a specific way that i can check for all this?

 

When we first got my 745 it had a bad tie rod which caused it to pull to the right.
You can lift the front of the car, and tug at the wheels to check for any slop.
then, you should be able to find out what part is bad
