The c-clip is wire about the dia of a coathanger. Fits into a groove going around the end of the axle, within 1/2 inch on some cars, from the end.
They come installed on every axle I have seen. Yours had one.
When the axle is pushed in, the clip is compressed and opens up once it is past the trans bushing. That keeps the axle from sliding back out
if the c-clip is strong enough...and if the axle
is the proper length.
In those pics, the tapered thing we see needs to be investigated.-Bob
