A coupling arrangement for transferring drive torque between a constant velocity joint (3) and a vehicle drive wheel hub (2). The coupling arrangement includes a retaining clip (15) having a U-shaped cross-section, and a free-state diameter which is less than a diameter of the retaining clip (15) when assembled to retain vehicle drive wheel hub (2) to a constant velocity joint (3). The retaining clip (15) is retained within an open axial bore of the constant velocity joint (3), axially inboard of a set of inward splines (12), which are configured to engage a matching set of outward splines (8) associated with a coupling ring (14) secured to the vehicle drive wheel hub (2). The retaining clip (15) leading edge is configured to engage a retaining groove (G) in the coupling ring (14), thereby coupling the constant velocity joint (3) to the vehicle drive wheel hub (2). |
