I think the territory axles are the same though.Have you got a pic of the 2 setups side by side? (most likely not) what about a pic of the bigger clip on the old shaft?

Got very annoyed for half an hour trying to install the new shafts while resisting the urge to grab a hammer. Then I inspected the c clips and compared them to the OEM ones.
