Just replaced my CVs with CVJ axles, D/S went in without issue, snap ring on P/S seems a little too thick to slide in all the way, do they make these in slimmer thicknesses?
Axle snap ring doesn't fit? (1 Viewer)

Well I pulled the E-size snap ring off and replaced it with a D-size and the D snapped in with an audible click. I pulled on the axle with the tool and with the D ring there is little to no gap. I think part of the issue may have been that the E ring was too big and not seated fully. I wonder if driving around caused it to shift which caused the noise?
After switching rings I drove a few miles around my neighborhood and don't hear the noise anymore. It also doesn't look to be scraping on the hub body either.
The brass bushing looked to be in good shape as well. I think I might have a slight brake drag issue though as I turn the wheel by hand off the ground it spins freely 90% of the way but slows down on one spot. Don't think that's related to the CV though.
Thanks for the help!

Added the corresponding letters that should be stamped on each snap ring, B thru G from thickest to thinnest, for future reference.
