yoke snap rings

Re: yoke snap rings

Just to put your mind at ease, the only time there is load against the snap rings is when the wheels are off the ground. There is no load on them during driving- of any type.

Re: yoke snap rings

My post was bass ackwards. The rounded edge goes against the pin, the sharp edge goes away from it. The thrust of the pin will cause the sharp edge to bite into the piston.

The load on the stub would be when it pulls out. The rounded edge would go against toward the yoke, the sharp edge toward the differential.

Dick's got it right. (if there actually is such a thing a correct way for this particular application) I've seen these rings installed either way.
