Abutment clips reside on the caliper bracket lands on most vehicles. They create a uniform surface for the pads to make contact with. Some abutment clips include fingers that hold the pad in place. These are consumable components in a brake system, not only because of rust and wear, but because the anti-rattle features can fatigue over time.

There are sometimes better options than the hardware found in the box with the brake pads. These hardware sets can include clips with noise dampening coatings.
