C Clip Retainer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A C-Clip Retainer<\/strong><\/a> is typically made of copper, spring steel, or stainless steel. It snaps into a machined groove of a shaft to create retention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

C-clips generally have a narrow section height, creating good clearance. C-clips don’t have teeth and deep sets, which means they have a lower thrust load rating than other clip types.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

C-clips are also used to secure axles in place. A C-lock-type axle requires the removal of the differential cover plate and pinion shaft to access the clip retainer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
