So they finally got rid of the C-clip on the new ones, eh?  I have always
wondered why they were there.  After all where was the axle going? Of
course I have always reinstalled them, and will again this time, but it is
on my list of "silly things in a VW".  I was awfully glad not to see one
of those compressed dished washers under the joint.  The C-clip is enough
of a pain without having to make up a tool to compress the washer,
concurrent with installing the clip.
