I got 2 output shafts that got a to small diameter where the snap ring is and now also brand new snap rings are spinning. Is there a smaller snap ring I could use that fits and still holds the bearing in place?

All they need to do is hold the bearing in place. As long as there is no for and aft movement of the bearing on the shaft it'll be fine.

The output shaft does and WILL move forward/backwards and push the bearing on that snap ring. So the snapring will spin sometimes. And I got 2 output shafts that got totally eaten up grooves from snap rings that were spinning on it. So everytime I got a snap ring that spins I throw it away. They are still available new from Mopar (pricy!). But on those 2 output shafts even the new snap rings are totally loose because the groove is cut to deep. That�s why I was looking for a solution to this�
