Found this big circlip on my driveway while I was taking off a rear brake disc to investigate a grinding sound (it was the brake shoes rubbing against the hub due to shoe clips popping out)
Any ideas where this big (approx 4 inch) clip came.from?

Thats a big circlip for the L322.
They do have some on the rear but from what I can see they are only 2 inches ish.
Do you own any other cars or niegbhours prone to practical jokes.

Something that big dont "just come off" unless you are taking stuff apart, go back over your work.

Was it before or during the work you found it?

I was hammering the rear disc (it was stuck on) to get it off and heard a weird sound from the front of the car. Walked around and saw this big clip about 2 feet in front of the car.

As said for something like that to come off is pretty difficult, unless you are in amoungst it.

I can only visulise the circlip that holds the bolts in a driveshaft diff joint, but dont think the L322 of your age has, Be nice if you told us what you have in the thread.

I would be checking both sides front and back to see if anything is missing/different.

Its a 2005 3l diesel auto. It started raining here so I haven't climbed under yet to investigate.
