My circlip is in my diff and working well. The Durango 210 diff, for me, is perfect. I built it as the manuel, and no probs at all. I found it super smooth and no problems with getting to the right tension first time.

Having just come from an SV and messing with cone washers that 'ARE' shit, I would say the 210 dif is spot on, even the circlip.

Unfortunatly, as I said, my diff is finished and working, but the circlip in the 210 seemed to me to be thicker than the SV circlip ( I rebuilt my SV diff 4 days ago for the 3rd time in 2 months)

Basically, get the 210 circlip, pre strech it a little, rounded side goes towards the SMALL trust race and use PROPER pliers (or Dremeled ones) Compress it as LITTLE as you can. I put it in at an angle, then removed the pliers and pushed it the rest of the way with a flat screw driver. This way the circlip never gets compressed more than it has to. By pre streching it and not squashing it when fitting, you get a super tight fit when it's fully home.

Mine has been test run, painted and ready for the track tomorrow, so I HAVE built this car to know!
