Best Answer

some axles are held in place by c clips which are located in the spider gears in the center off the differential some are held in by the outer wheel bearing retainer plate located on the rear brake backing plate on the wheel end of the axle and most h/d trucks have a set of bolts that are visible on the center of the rear wheels or rear hub 75% of rwd cars have the c clip type
