impotant part,but I'm sure they have a roll to play or they wouldnt have been in the kit,maybe just a cover for the ball bearings so they dont get dirt or debree in them?Just try"n to get some info to see if running with out the washers will be ok,I dread have'n to borrow a shop again to tear the frontend completely apart just to put two paper thin washers in.

They go in the top of the axle with the thrust brg on the bottom. If you have a small amount of play it will be all right. If there is a lot of movement it will be nessesary to tear it down again.
They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing. 1972 Chevy c10 Cheyenne SuperIn the Gallery Forum | | |
