Maintain secure front axle and CV joint retention with this Genuine Nissan Axle Snap Ring 1.5mm, designed for Nissan Patrol GQ Y60 and GU Y61 models. This OEM circlip is fitted to the front CV axle assembly and is responsible for locking the CV joint firmly into position within the differential or hub assembly.

Over time, snap rings can stretch, weaken, or be lost during CV joint, hub, or axle servicing. A missing or damaged snap ring can allow the CV shaft to move out of position, leading to loss of drive, spline damage, and potential failure of surrounding drivetrain components.

Manufactured to genuine Nissan specifications, this 1.5mm snap ring provides precise fitment, strong retention, and long-lasting durability under heavy off-road, towing, and daily driving conditions.
