A clip for securing inner and outer members of the splined joint against relative axial movement includes a first resiliently supported ear nested within a recess formed on the splined surface of the inner member and contacting an end face of the outer member. A second ear at the opposite axial end of the joint engages an end face of the outer member and is connected by way of an axially directed arm to the first ear. In a second embodiment a third ear coplanar with the first ear engages another arcuate portion of the groove and is connected by a second axial arm with the second ear. Provision is made in the outer member for the arms to extend axially along the joint. The clip is preferably made from a single length of steel wire.
