I'm putting together a front axle with the elocker from the rear of a FZJ 80, and need a yay or nay from those who have gone through more axles than I. I thought that with the design of the "new" diff I'd be able to get away without the outer c-clips on the inners (like with a mar-tack) but it looks like the axles slide in just a hair or two too far for that. The journal is engaging the inner lip of the seal, but not the outer, I would assume that it must engage the outer lip to seal correctly. What say yee? Think I'm going to be clipping the birfs on, but would like confirmation.
