Axle Keeps Popping Out Of Intermediate Shaft

Did it with a prior axle upon purchasing the car. Replaced it and it still does it. I can feel the slightest click of the snap ring biting but just as easy as it is to pop in place, it pops out by hand. I’m assuming the intermediate shaft must be bad?

I don’t have a spare 90/93 intermediate though I have a 94 up with a new axle. Can I use 94 up intermediate with 94 up axle?

Thanks for the help in advance.

replace the snap ring
