Wheel Bearing Internal Retaining Rings
There are three versions of the internal retaining rings or "Snap Rings" that hold in the wheel bearings into the knuckles/spindles. The original ring was a piece of spring steel wire, this was used in the original Renault Alliance knuckles and should only be used in the Renault knuckles. The second generation was an "inch" size snap ring. It can be used on the old Renault knuckles and some of the early SCCA-E knuckles, part number 277759. The latest knuckles have a smaller grove and require the latest or 3rd generation snap ring. The newest snap ring is a metric sized ring and is 2mm (.080") thick, part number 277760. If you use any of the older rings in the newer knuckle, they will not hold the bearing in place. The 2nd generation inch version is 2.36mm (.093") thick. The part numbers for the different rings are:
