I would replace the clip. Last month I had an annoying thumping coming from
underneath. I had paranoid thoughts about bad CV's etc. It was only the
speedometer cable which came out of the brake backing plate. The cable was
whipping around in the tire carrier. I didn't notice that it had come out
because my speedo wasn't working at the time.
