No, on the D30 in your 98 there are no C-clips. Unbolt the hubs and you can pull your front axles right out.

All it does is keep your wheel from coming off if you twist off an axle in the rear.

Are you talking about a front clip conversion? If so, it is where they put a '97 and newer front fenders, header panel, grill, lights, etc on a '96 and older Cherokee.
