While replacing my differential output shaft seals today, I noticed my passenger side output shaft is missing the circlip that holds the cv axle. I assume it's been this way for quite a while and hasn't caused any issues, but I'd like to get a new circlip if I can.

I've been searching and can't find a part #. Even looking at the exploded parts diagram on Cultrag, it doesn't appear to be listed separately.

Any thoughts on where to get one?

Maybe measure it and buy generic.

Yea, that would be fine, but I can't seem to find even generic ones listed anywhere. I'd even be willing to buy an assortment kit if I had too.

I've gotta be looking in the wrong place or using the wrong keyword or something because I can't be the first person to need one of these clips.

Try McMaster-Carr, when you select a part the drawings can be viewed where it says product detail; https://www.mcmaster.com/#retaining-rings/=1auqf2o.

You... da... man!

That's a different/better parts diagram than the one I found. Thanks again!
