can some one tell me the cv joint closest to the hub on the passenger side is there a circlip/snap ring to hold the actual drive shaft into the inner ball race off the cv.
when I removed mine the shaft pulled straight out.. I cleaned it out and found no evidence of a ring but a provision for it on the shaft .

referenced the manual and couldn't come up with a decent diagram.

any thoughts fellers?

not a circlip as such, jsut a wire ring that squishes into the groove as the CV slides over it and pops out to retain it once all the way through

yeah thought so..just wanted to check
because the inner joint allows for movement it seemed strange the shaft in the outer joint had no method of retention


might raid the grab kits at work

hmm they kinda hard to find.. hopefully the busted cv thats currently in my vit will have one in it.

any driveline type place will have billions, possibly even a more decent auto parts place too
