Do you own an antigram or are you just assuming?

I own one. I just checked mine and it turns out it does wobble a bit when installed. My circlip also fell out. Doesn't appear to have affected it though, as I've been riding it like this all year.   I guess I just never noticed it was kind of.loose like that.

Patty:
That's all I needed to know! Thanks duder!

The driver should have about 0.2 to 1mm (max) of play along the axle. this is normal.

The Antigram driver has a circlip on the inside/back but this is just to retain the pawls and has no impact on the driver bearing location.

Instead there is a spiral retaining ring on the outside end of the driver. This locates the driver and keeps the driver and the collar together as a single assembly. IF it comes out, then the hub will still function, but it is better to have it in there. There should be a plastic washer between the spiral ring and the shoulder of the collar inside the driver. ie. when you install the collar into the driver it should go:-

Driver body>plastic washer>needle bearing>plastic washer>collar>plastic washer>spiral ring. Grease Grease Grease also.

I hope this helps.
