    Replacing rear axle c-clips/cross pin?

    The cross shaft is very hard and usually never shows wear. I have NEVER seen a cross shaft that has been indented from an axle shaft. Sometimes the clips will show minimal wear (slight). But usually not enough to cause play. As others have stated this is normal.
