When building the car last year apparently we didn't put the inside snap rings on the 2 Ujoint outside caps that go into the yoke on the reared. Well it lasted all race season last year without the caps coming out but last weekend it finally gave way.
The rear u-joint has all inside snap rings and is held in the yoke by the 2 straps, so I'm putting it together and i put the snap rings on the 2 caps that go into the yoke.
the inside snap rings only go about 3/4 of the way around the caps and the rest is open.
So does the open end of the snap rings go in toward the yoke and the straps mostly hold the caps on.....OR....does the open side of the snap rings go toward the straps and the yoke mostly hold the caps in ??
Looking at the yoke with the cap in place it covers about 3/4 of the cap so I would assume the open end towards the strap, I'm getting about 50/50 on the answer of this here locally.
