    I am working on the front brakes and spindles on my 67 CJ6. The front end is a D27. During disassembly I noticed that the axle moves in an out about 1/4 to 1/2 inch. Looks like from the FSM the axles are held against the spindles with a snap ring near the outside end of the axle, when everything is assembled.

    I have a set of "Free-Lock" (Selectro) hubs, There was no snap ring installed, so there seems to be no way to control the axle moving in and out.

    Is this an issue?

    I also have a set of Power-lock hubs. They have the snap ring, could put those on, but I like the look of the Free-Lock hubs
