I think he was asking about the oil seal spacer in the hubs, that appears to be a steering rack limiter kit.

You are correct, I was looking for the oil seal spacer. I will have to take a look when I get the hub apart to see if theres ine in there.

I am getting a loud knocking on right hand corners from the N/S front wheel, I am going to investiate further tomorrow.......

squeeking from th efront is more often going to be the bearing moving on the CV, a strip and check will tell you, if you have a worn groove on the CV or loose outer bearings in the hub.

You will need to replace all or any worn parts, then fit the new parts together using a large flat washer to "pull it all up" then fit the lightly greased cone washer..

The spacer in the rear (inner) of the hub is there to position the inner seal but careful fitment can eliminate the requirement, just fit it flush with the end of the bore as it changes to a taper.

Not fitting but also getting the seal incorrectly fitted will have nothing to do with the wear, and in all probability the "bearing" would still function as a bearing, except that now it will be loose on the new CV and cause damage.

Hence why every time you tighten it up within a short time it will come loose, this is also often seen by rusty dusty deposits around the CV nut and cone washer.

The cause is that it has NOT been seated correctly
