front axle keeps pulling out of diff

[darren250r]

I'm Helping A Friend With His 95 Extended Cab With A 6" Procomp Lift. The Drivers Front Axle Keeps Pulling Out Of The Front Diff. People Have Been Working On It With questionable Skill Level. AnyIdeas? Sorry About The TYping.....My Phone Is Capitalizing For Some Reason.

It Keeps Popping That C Clip Almost Like The Cv Is To SHort.Does That Lift Require A Spacer Where The CV Meets The Axle Flange?

yes if i remember correctly there is spacer on the pro comp lifts

I would think so on a 6" lift.

correction on my last:

no spacers listed in the kit...they must do it all with the drop brackets.

Ok. I Was Thinking The Drop Would Do It To. Sounds Like It Must Be The C-clip Then? I've Never Heard Of A Worn Clip Doing That. The Part Number If The Cv Shaft MatcheS The Truck. I Haven't Messed With Ifs For So Long I'm At A Loss.

Anyone else seen this? The guy wants me to help him work on it and I'd like to have more of an idea of what it could be before I start. I swear I saw someone post about this before, but can't find the post.

I agree. Must be a bad c clip.

It's a snap ring. If it looses tension it gets loose.

Normally requires a slide hammer and a sharp blow, but wear and heat can make them sloppy.

Not saying 100% that's what it is, but likely. The other thing is wear on the stub shaft groove, but that's something you don't want to deal with....$$$$$.
