HELP! Fairbanks AK people!

[2.5GL]

I have a friend in Fairbanks, needs the "C" clip ring on the end of the rear axle shaft that holds it into the rear diff. Would this be the same size as the ring that is on the 2005 and newer Legacies?" Dealer got him the snap ring on the shaft, inside the DOJ cup. I don't think the ring in question is available... See below, item #1 is not listed as a part.

He is under the gun to get this done before leaving the state Saturday for a few weeks. (Girlfriend needs her car while he is gone) It does't really matter what happened, why it is gone, etc... I just know he does not have one. I am working on getting one mailed tomorrow, but it may not make it in time.

 

Please send me an email if you know where to go to get one, (store, shop) or a particular person at said store or shop. PM those you know in the fairbanks area as well, forward my email address if they can help.

Lewis,

I don't believe I have that part. All my excess parts are for the old GL model Suby's. Unfortunately even if were to have the part you need, I am out of town for a bit. Good luck!

Some of these rings are inside the diff and do not come out.  He may want to check that.  If the old one had on on the end of the shaft that that's not the case but he could swap it from the old axle to the new one.  

 

If all else fails, head down to the local bearing shop with the axle, they can find one that would work.
