If you are not looking for something super precision, you can kind of fudge a ring groove, I have done it before.
E-clips are nice for assembling after the fact (meaning while you are assembling everything at once), I was taught that if you can use a snap ring, use it, they tend to be stronger in the side to side load your talking about.
