D28 axle help

[rkbrown13]

I had a wheel bearing go bad and when I changed it I notice the passenger side axle was pushed in so it would not lock in 4x4. So when I changed bearings I pushed the axle back in. When i put it in 4x4 in worked for a moment then popped back out. What would be causing this am I missing something?

Do you have the c-clips and splined washers on the end of the shafts so they (the passenger side) can't slide into the spindle?

sounds like your missing a c clip..

 

[rkbrown13]

Where can I get the c-clip?

 

[4x4junkie]

On a D28 there should be a flat washer, a needle thrust bearing, then an internal splined washer, and a c-clip to hold it all on the end of the shaft.

Junkyard is probably your best bet on small parts like those.

its not something that can just fall out of there.
