Maintaining the integrity of the Nissan Skyline all-wheel-drive system depends on small but critical components, and the Front Axle Drive Assembly Right Retaining Circlip for R32, R33, and R34 models is one of them. Offered by Terra Firma Automotive, this genuine OEM circlip is engineered specifically for AWD Skylines to secure the inner splined end of the front right axle shaft within the front differential. Proper retention at this point is essential to ensure smooth power delivery and long-term drivetrain reliability.
This circlip installs on the transmission-side spline of the axle and locks into the side gear inside the front final drive differential, preventing the axle from backing out under load. During high-torque driving, aggressive launches, or track use, a correctly fitted retaining clip plays a crucial role in keeping the AWD system functioning as Nissan intended. Using the proper OEM-spec clip with the correct concave stamping ensures precise fitment and consistent engagement, something universal snap rings cannot reliably provide.
Because this retaining circlip is designed as a one-time-use component, replacing it during axle service or front differential work is strongly recommended. Reusing an old or deformed clip can compromise axle retention and lead to costly drivetrain damage. Terra Firma Automotive specializes in authentic Nissan Skyline drivetrain components, giving enthusiasts and professional builders confidence when servicing their R32, R33, or R34 AWD platforms. Choose the correct OEM retaining circlip to maintain factory-level performance, safety, and reliability in your Skyline.
