The right CV axle on my truck wobbles on the splined axle stub that come out of the front diff, is there some kind of retainer thats go on the axle stub to make it tight on there??

2002 Dakota 4x4 4.7 there is a body lift of 2" that has nothing to do with it but there is a 2" or 3" torsion bar lift on it too. the left one has some wobble but none to worry about, its bare minium, can hardly even notice it

 

I got a new axle dont see any retainer clip or anything

I wonder if I should replace the axle

 

any idea??? I'd like to fix it this weekend

 

If it's anything like an '00 then there is a snap ring on the axle shaft that fits into a groove on the inside of the stub shaft.

Are you sure the 5" lift isn't the problem?

 

its only 2 or 3 on the suspention and the left side is fine.

I wonder that they call that snap ring??

 

Mine did the same....Gears were shot had the whole axle re-done $750..ouch, was told diff was bad...races were worn badly as well

 

Cost me $150 for the axle shaft and cv axle
