Can someone tell me what the anti rattle springs are on an AP racing brake caliper please?

Thanks.

They are the flat spring plates on the front, held in by 2 pins and have directional arrows cut into them.

Thanks for that - I now know which way to put the springs in ;)

Only other question is how do I tell left from right?

Does the arrow point in the direction the wheel spins, or is it not that obvious? :unsure:
