Someone told me that there was something called a C-clip eliminator for the axles so they don't "fall out" while doing donuts and stuff. anyone ever heard of them?

Isn't the purpose of those eliminators so you can pull your axles out without draining the oil, taking off the cover, and then pulling the c-clips out all in order to just be able to pull your axles? If anything, the c-clips themselves are what keep your axles in.

The purpose of the c clip eliminators is to keep the wheel on the car when you break an axle.

Strange, Moser, Mark Williams, and there are probably others that make them too.

Basically, a bearing is presses on to your axle, and there is a bearing retainer that bolts the assembly to the rear end housing. Most heavy duty or aftermarket rear ends utilize this option. Some racing divisions will not allow C-clips to begin with.

I agree one advantage being keeping the tire on when the axle breaks. When I bought my car the guy showed me a couple of 10-bolt axles in the corner that twisted off at the splines. Keep in mind C-clips can fail as well, end reult being the same.

Summit sells them ($150)but I don't know if they work with the rear disc brakes. Maybe contact moser and see what they say.
