Paddocks would have thought both were in, suppose I could clean the old ones up as there not to bad.
If you click on the one you bought, like this one LINKY , scroll down and look at the Description it will list what is in the kit.
Just looked at the pics never read the parts list,
but you'd think that both would be in the kit,
Yes you would, but often the small print says 'picture is for illustrative purposes only'.Just looked at the pics never read the parts list,
Yes everything is right only retainer missing, well not missing really as its not on the parts list. seen some people put it back together and set the preload out on the bench, not sure which will be easier to do it this way or do it on the axle,
I set the pre-load on the vehicle rather than the bench. The reason for this is nothing to do with the ease of setting the pre-load. Instead it is how easy it is to bolt the swivel ball to the axle tube. It is much easier when it is disassembled and does not weight much compared to fully built up with the housing and pins. Although I am usually doing this sort of thing on my own so have to hold it against the axle while trying to put the bolts in. If you have a helper it may not matter as much.
