What the hell holds the axles into the 12bolt Moser rearends? You all know on the stock 10 bolt 2 c-clip holds the axles into place but what holds the 12 bolt Moser axles into place or does they just dangull around without nothing to keep them in from coming staying in the rearend/ or coming a loose.

If it's a non-C-clip keep then the bearings are a very
hard press-fit and the axle end plates bolted to the axle
flanges keep the axle in.
These bolts are a potential failure if they back out, that
has been reported, be sure you Loctite them.

The outer bearings are pressed on the axle and the caliper mount/backing plate holds them in with four bolts. The hole in the caliper bracket is slightly smaller then the bearing OD, thats why you need to slide those on before you press the bearing on the axle. They do make a C-clip 12 bolt but I havent seen one around for a 4th gen so its not too common.
