• Description:

  This is a genuine Ford rear axle pinion circlip called out in Ford TSB 22N06, Rear Axle Repair After Bolt Fracture, for 20-22 Explorer rear axle service. This particular suffix covers builds that are not equipped with the 2.3L EcoBoost or 3.3L Hybrid drivetrain, which use a different size circlip than the gas powertrains. The clip is a single-use spring steel retainer that locks the pinion gear to the differential output shaft, and is one of the consumable parts listed in the rear axle repair kit. Technicians reach for this clip when performing the bolt fracture repair procedure outlined in the TSB, when rebuilding the rear differential after a failure, when servicing the carrier assembly, or any time the pinion is removed from the housing. The clip must be installed fresh and seated fully into its groove with the correct circlip pliers, since a reused or partially seated clip will allow the pinion to walk out under torque and create the failure mode the TSB was written to correct. order the amount per the TSB parts list to keep the kit complete, since this clip ships alongside other single-use fasteners and the toe link, lower arm, upper arm, and wheel hub hardware called out in the bulletin. Pair with the appropriate grease grade specified in the TSB during reassembly, and torque all referenced fasteners to the specifications provided so the corrected build matches the engineering intent of the bulletin.

• Notes: Included with drive axle. Part cannot be reused/reinstalled.
