brass clip

[JohninFla]

Been a while since I posted anything on either car - putting the roof back on my house and hanging new drywall fills my spare time these days.

I did brake rotors and pads on all four wheels on the Mercedes this past weekend, and found the small brass spring clip inside the front wheel bearing cap broken off on both wheels.

What is the proper name for this clip? I was searching Fastlane for it, and have no idea.

What is the function of the clip?

Thanks for the advice!
