The C-clips we are referring to are named that because they look like a "C" it's not short for circlip.


Edit: thanks for the picture Gonzo!
well thanks for the clarification. but since thats the only c clip on this axle, thats what it is. its a clip. its c shape. its a c clip.

lets not bring up what a dana has on it, cause we arent discussing a dana.
