So I am in the process of replacing the torn cv boot on my 2004 4Runner. While removing the outer cv from the axle to slide the new boot on, the clip that holds the cv to the axle broke. It seems like Toyota does not sell this clip. The only place I found one that looks the same is here.
CV Joint Inner Snap Ring
Anyone know somewhere we can get this clip locally? Ive tried Orileys, Autozone, and Pep boys and noone has it.
SOLVED:
To clarify, I ordered replacement cv boot kits from Toyota and it came with only 2 of the 3 snap rings that are on an axle. The 3rd snap ring, which is the one I needed, was not included and is not sold separately. There is no Toyota part number for it. Marlin crawler and Trail-Gear do not have this clip either.
I contacted the company that rebuilds oem Toyota axles, CVJ Axles, and they were able to sell me the clip. I mentioned that I couldn’t get it at Toyota and they also said Toyota doesn’t sell it. They do not normally sell this clip but were able to send one out to me.
