I run the stock snap ring in the rear stub axle bearing housing . On my new buggy I am building I cant find any snap rings...all say out of stock . I was told these arent actually necessary to run that once the stub axle nut is tightened the bearings cant move in the housing . What do you guys think and what was vw's reason for them ? |
