Hey everybody. I've got my front end torn apart (98 4x4 OHV), everything except the lower control arms and torsion bars. It started as replacing lower ball joints and cv axles to clear up for minor front end noise. Well I busted one tie rod boot and decided to go all in and replace the rack and pinion (it was leaking into the tie rod boots and from the PS reservoir). Followed by the outer tie rods, upper control arms, and shocks. Now to my main point. I purchased the trakmotive extended travel CVs because they're supposedly heavy duty, not THAT much not expensive than standard CVs, and I plan to stay IFS and move to coilovers in the future. Unfortunately the circlip for the driver side CV was to large. I attempted to grind it down some but after measuring it seemed unrealistic to grind it down to size the worn oem size. So I did what many others have done it seems and swapped the old circlip to the new CV. However I want to keep my old CVs as spares and would like to order new circlips to keep on it in case I need it. So in short.

TLDR. Does anyone know the part number for the driver side CV Circlip for the inner spliced shaft?
