Ok, here's the deal, my passenger rear brakes keeps giving me problems. The W bar that holds the brake pads in keeps coming loose and making all kinds of grinding noise. Me and my dad have fixed it, or so i thought, at least 4 times now in the past 2 months. as long as i don't go over any really deep potholes it seems to stay in place. Up until yesterday i was good for about 3 weeks.
I've gone to the junkyard and looked for the part but I haven't seen any 03 cavaliers there. I never had a problem with it until i changed the drum brake pads, since then every other week it seems to be coming off.
what can i do to fix it or keep it from coming off again? It's really aggravating having to worry about potholes and my brakes falling apart.
here's a pic of the part im talking about.
