MrMartinPGrant Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Can anyone tell me Is there meant to be a "c ring" i think it's called, on the driver side "half Shafts"...."stub axles" see pic, on the left of the pic is the driver side, no c ring, on the right of the pic is the passenger side, you can see there is a C ring on it. should there be a c ring on the driver side one? This has all come about because on Saturday i was driving along and the driver side half shaft popped out of the diff, i thought the diff had exploded. the car is now with the mechanic while he checks for damage. also would anyone know why the Driver side half shaft would have popped out? has this happened anyone? The oil seal on the driver side had been leaking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Only one shaft is meant to have a C clip. Alex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZMANALEX Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 If you have a look at the diff. schematic that I previously sent you, you will clearly see that there is only one circlip. Alex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebized Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 would anyone know why the Driver side half shaft would have popped out? Might it have been put under undue strain.................................... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMartinPGrant Posted November 28, 2012 Author Share Posted November 28, 2012 (edited) just seen that alex, i couldn't work it out, thanks Ebized, yea there was an oil leak on the side where the shaft came out and i was going round a corner at the time, so i think it's just slipped out.
