• Prevents excessive play that can cause noise, vibration or uneven wear
• Helps keep connected components (drum/rotor/wheel) tracking correctly
• Commonly replaced when clipped, bent or missing after repair or wear

What's included: One retainer clip (axle) Install notes:

• Disconnect power before starting any repair
• Removal may require pliers or a small punch to release the old clip; reinstall by snapping into the axle groove
• Inspect mating shaft and housing for wear or damage before installing the new clip
