Snap-ring tesla front sdu

Post by Riwi »

Hi!

I got a SDU, 1035000-00-J, and I'm trying to find snap-rings for the driveshaft. Its the small ring/clip that keeps the driveshaft in the diff.
Any one got a source for these?

Thanks

Is it actually a snap ring though, or is it a hog ring (like on an impact gun)?

Ok, you wouldn’t have the diameter and thickness at hand?

I think snap ring is a valid term for it, i've always used that term for the rings on the end of CV joints.

They are sized by diameter and wire thickness.
