On this 2011 Scion XB, the rear caliper brackets appear to be mounted differently. The left side has no plastic spacers between the caliper bracket and the car. The right rear side has two plastic spacers between the caliper bracket and where it bolts to the car hub area. Also, the abutment clips ( 2 per side) are different looking. The left side has a certain style set of clips and the right side has another different set of two. The akebono brake pads that I bought came with 8 clips (4 of each type). Therefore, my question is: Can I get and exploded view of the rear brake assemblies left and right, and can you help me unravel the mystery between the left and right sides of the rear brakes? I have everything apart and I want to put it back properly if someone made a mistake assembling the abutment clips and brake assemblies in the past. I have never seen two different types of clips on either side of brakes and also the plastic spacers on the mounting areas from the factory. I have included photos of the left and right caliper brackets, the differences in the abutment clips, and the akebono brake pad box part number and the plastic bag with abutment clip part number. Akebono said to match the existing clips to whatever is necessary from the supplied clips. They supplied 8 clips, 4 for a 16mm rotor gap and 4 for a 15.6mm rotor gap. I am wondering what the Scion service manual and exploded view diagram says from the manufacturer of the car.
