I have had the RE HnP SYE now for years and have been having trouble with the snap ring disapearing. My questions are:
Last time I nopticed this I called RE and they said they have never heard of this happening. So what is going on here? This is like the 10th snap ring I have lost. BTW the slip shaft is moveing free and this is a trail only rig so the drive shaft really never turns really high RPMs. Mark 89 Jeep XJ With stuff. Have Jeep will break!

Are u positve that the hack and tap is on centered, could aid in throwing the snap rings. Ive never heard of them just throwing off either.

Yeah it is centered I actually had a machine shop cut and drill and tap it for me, It is good to know people. I was wondering if hitting the DS on the rocks could be causing part of the problem. When the snap ring does go you never notice it being gone, even whan I did drive on the highway. I am at a loss.

Thats crazyness. If i find anything out ill let u know, if its a trail rig, i wouldnt worry bout it, still annoying as **** though. Have u tried using a differetn size ring?

yeah I have trie the next size larger DIA. and it is so big that the ends hit each other when installed and it wqas lost the first day. The problem I see with the flange being able to move a litle on the shaft is the seal gets worn out fast. Like it really seals anyways.

The term is a nick name given to the Rubicon Express slip yoke eliminator. Copied from the source:
