If you are talking about the top spring that goes down into the holes in the top of the pads..... There should be two per rotor. The keep the pads from rubbing on the rotor when the brakes are not engaged. Its necessary to use them because the inner piston "Corkscrews" out as it self adjusts, therefore, if you put rtv or anitsqueal on the pad, it can hinder the movement of the adjuster or simply be torn apart as the adjuster turns
