If the CV axle snap ring is not locking in place, it can lead to the axle becoming dislodged from the differential or wheel hub, resulting in loss of power transfer and potential damage to the CV joint or other drivetrain components. This issue may arise from improper installation, wear, or damage to the snap ring itself. It’s essential to inspect the snap ring and the axle assembly for any defects and ensure proper fitment. If necessary, replace the snap ring or consult a professional for further diagnosis and repairs.
