Default U-joint clips ??

I am putting a new u-joint on my stock driveshaft to hook up to the 1350 yoke on the back of my new 9in rear . I got it on the driveshaft and have the c-clips on it but it comes with 2 brass looking c-clips that i cant figure out where they go i know it goes on the yoke side but where ? I atached a pic to help. Any info would be great a picture would even be better .

I've never had a 9 inch but with my 12 bolt, I threw those clips out. The yoke itself had a small lip on it to retain the u-joint caps so I didn't need clips...since it's not a camaro specific application I think they give you those clips just in case you use it on a truck or something that DOES need them.

Ya the yoke has the same lip to hold the cap onto the u-joint . I guess i will be throwning them away too lol. i just wanted to make sure . Is there a way to make sure it is full of gear oil without taking it all out and refilling ? I am asking becouse it looks like the drain cap on the bottom was leaking and dont know how much i leaked out ? So i put some thread sealent on it and hopefully it will fix it .

I know i was looking at them and couldnt figure where the hell they would go lol . But on the other note does anyone have an answer e to the second part about checking the gear oil level if you think it might be a little low?

Put some in until it is level with the bottom of the fill hole.
