A c-clip eliminator converts your axle bearing to a press on bearing of better quality ... AND ... utilizes a bearing housing end that bolts onto the housing end/backing plate end. Not only is it stronger ... but if for any reason you break an axle ... the axle stays in the rear end.
Not so with factory c-clips ... if it breaks ... the axle, wheel & tire come OUT !
A full set up costs $130-180 ... so it is a VERY SMALL price to pay for a LOT of safety for you & the people around you ... and protection for your car.

Ron, thanks for posting this link. Most kits for GM vehicles require the user to change axles also, which can get expensive. I haven't seen these kits before. Very affordable.
