Default Anti rattle clip??

Hey guys, just installed a lift on my 92 and took the brake calipers off in order to droop the suspension down to get the new coils in. Well when I went to put everything back together, I couldn't get the inner brake pad to clip into the piston so I just kind of sat it in there and put the caliper back on. Now I have a bad clunking sound that seems to get faster with speed, but at around 55 its very slight. Then when I slow back down it gets worse again. Could not getting the pad clipped into the piston cause THIS BAD of a clunk?? I thought maybe u-joints, but it does it when driving straight or turning and I didn't have this problem until I took the brakes off. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Yes it would make that clunk. You need to reseat it to clip in or buy a new pad with a new clip. It's dangerous driving it the way it is right now.
