This axle snap ring is located in a groove on the end of your front CV joint. Its job is to securely locate the CV joint within the front axle housing, stopping it from pulling out. These rings are commonly damaged, broken, or lost when servicing CV joints or other front-end components. Running without this small but critical part is asking for trouble.
If the snap ring is missing or fails, the CV joint can pull out of the housing under load. This will cause an immediate loss of drive to that wheel and can lead to catastrophic damage to the axle, hub, and swivel housing components, leaving you stranded with a very expensive repair job.
