O-RING (Clark CL618458)

CL618458: A damaged retaining ring can allow a shaft or bore component to shift out of position during operation. During inspection, a retaining ring may show signs of deformation or cracking from repeated load cycles. Keeping a retaining ring in sound condition helps maintain the intended axial location of assembled parts. This aftermarket replacement part references Clark as the OE maker and cross-references part number CL618458. The part type functions as a removable fastener that seats in a groove to secure components. A common failure consequence is that a broken retaining ring can release a retained part, leading to mechanical disassembly. Verify the serial number or application, then call (562) 693-7748.
