Keep your front axle assembly secure and operating correctly with this Genuine Nissan Axle Snap Ring (1.3mm), designed for Nissan Patrol GQ Y60 and GU Y61 models. This OEM retaining circlip is fitted to the outer end of the front axle/CV shaft inside the hub assembly, where it locks the CV joint firmly in position.

This small but critical component ensures the CV joint remains correctly seated within the hub. Without it, the CV can shift or pull out under load, potentially causing loss of drive, hub damage, or costly drivetrain failure — especially in off-road conditions.

Manufactured to Nissan factory specifications, this genuine snap ring delivers precise fitment, correct tension, and long-lasting durability for reliable performance in harsh Australian conditions.

Why Replace Your Axle Snap Ring?

A missing or damaged snap ring can allow the CV shaft to disengage from the hub under load, resulting in sudden loss of drive and potential damage to axle splines, wheel bearings, and hub components. Replacing this inexpensive part helps protect the entire front drivetrain system.
