Keep your front axle assembly secure and reliable with this Genuine Nissan Axle Snap Ring 1.7mm, designed for Nissan Patrol GQ Y60 and GU Y61 models. This OEM circlip is fitted to the front CV axle/hub assembly and plays a critical role in retaining the CV joint securely in position inside the hub.

This 1.7mm snap ring is the thickest option in the OEM sizing range and is used to achieve correct preload and secure fitment of the CV shaft. A worn, incorrect, or missing snap ring can allow the CV joint to move out of position, leading to driveline damage, loss of drive, or failure of hub and axle components — especially under off-road load.

Manufactured to genuine Nissan specifications, this replacement ensures precise fitment, correct tension, and long-term durability in harsh Australian driving and 4WD conditions.

Why Replace Your Axle Snap Ring?

A damaged or incorrectly sized snap ring can allow the CV shaft to shift or disengage under load, potentially causing immediate loss of drive and expensive damage to axle splines, wheel bearings, and hub components. Replacing this small part helps protect the entire front drivetrain system.
