There is an oem bearing that uses the sleeve. There is also an oem replacement that has a plastic ring "built in sleeve". Trying to put the metal oem sleeve into the plastic ringed oem replacement just fuggers up the bearing.. It is either one or the other, unless your oem plastic ringed replacement is so far gone that the oem metal sleeve actually does assist a little..
Found this out the hard way re-ordering things from AA and getting both styles.. Second note: if you put to much torque on the big nut that holds the wheel on trying to solve the wiggle you will lose your turn signal cancel ability and may harm it permenently. Though in most cases easing off on the torque down will reclaim the turn signal cancel ability.. My experience anyways.. 2 cents for what its worth.. |
