Stub axle circlips for Tesla drive units, sold individually. The clip that retains a driveshaft stump in the differential.
A circlip is a single use item and it is the cheapest part of the job. Removing a driveshaft distorts the clip, and refitting a distorted one gives a retention force nobody can predict. The failure mode is a stump working its way out of the differential, which is not a fault that gives you warning.
Fit a new one every time a shaft comes out. At a couple of pounds against the cost of a drive unit, reusing the old clip to save money is a false economy that is only discovered on the road.

Compatibility
For Tesla drive units, used with our driveshaft stumps.
Order one per shaft, and order them with the shafts rather than after: a clip is the part that turns a stripped drive unit into a job you cannot finish that evening.
Seat it fully in its groove and check it visually. A clip that is not fully home feels like one that is, and the only way to be sure is to look at it in the groove all the way round before the shaft goes in.
In the box
