How many Rear Wheel Bearing Clips do I actually need for my Vanagon?

When should I consider replacing the Rear Wheel Bearing Clip on my Vanagon?

While the Rear Wheel Bearing Clip is often reusable, it's best to replace it if it gets bent, stretched, or lost during the rear wheel bearing service. It's a small but critical part for keeping the bearing properly seated.

Yes, this Rear Wheel Bearing Clip (part number N-012-295-1) is designed to fit all 1980-1991 Vanagon models, including both 2WD and 4WD versions. It's a direct replacement for the original clip.

Is this an OEM part, or what is the quality of this Vanagon rear wheel bearing retainer clip?
