the c clips in an 8 1/4 don't break. That's all chevy BS. Never heard of a mopar 8 1/4 with c clip problems. If you're worried about them, put new ones in.
C-clips don't break in any axle. Its the fact that the axle is retained in the diff and not at the wheel that is the issue. Break an axle and the wheel will leave the car.
