I've had a clinking sound for a time on the '89 2.6 Trooper, which I was told was a broken snapring. The sound was about right for the size of the snapring, so I assumed that is what it was.

I opened the front hubs today, and the snapring appears to be in very good shape. I'll embed a picture, maybe if I can, to be sure I have the right snapring. If it doesn't work, follow the link. The hubs, btw, are Superwinch. The Trooper has 210,000 miles.

Is this, in fact, the 26mm snapring which periodically breaks? Or do I have to dig deeper into the hub.

Thanks, Ken

EDIT: That didn't work at all. I've always had a problem with this, and apparently always will. I guess it's cut and paste the above URL. Sorry
