Default Offside front driveshaft

Hi guys is it ok to run the offside front driveshaft without the circlip fitted as mine snapped when removing. If not I'll go and try and get another clip

Cheers Jason

I believe the other side doesn't even have one, so I can't see it being a problem. And if something pops out I believe it's the inner CV joint and not the actual driveshaft.
