But honestly the steering wheel hub is also stopped by the end of the shaft where the splines end. The shaft is larger diameter there, so the hub can’t go any further. I think the circlip just prevents the hub from damage when you tighten the main nut for the steering wheel? Because without the circlip, the hub could push past the end of the male splines on the shaft? I’m not entirely sure on that belief because I didn’t take any measurements
