Replacing C-clips. Need part#

I will be replacing the c-clips on my stock 10 bolt rear w/ 2.73s and limited slip this weekend. Does anyone know the part numbers for the c-clips and any other parts I may need? If anyone has done this before has any advice that would make the job flow smoother they are more than welcome to share it. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Why do you want to replace the C-clips on the axle shafts??
Its not like they are a wear item.

My rear axle some play in it so the rotors rub against the calipers especially after taking a turn. I had read up on the subject on this board a while back and I remember a few people saying that replacing the c-clips would solve this problem.

I would do a little more reseach. The C-clips have nothing to do about your problem.

Thanks for the replies. Due to your post I did more checking and found a few simpler things to try first that should solve the problem.

My rear end is doing the exact same thing. I dont know what to do. What were the other things that you were going to try to solve this? Thanks

Like it was said, the c-clips are not the trouble. But he is the part # anyway.

I would think the problem would be the bearing and race are worn.
