    And they are different from the left side, make sure they give you the correct parts or you’re gonna be pissed when you go to put the shoes on….

    That’s good
    I have a trailer where the plastic bushings got loose in the spider and wore around a 1/16 inch out of it. Unfortunately they are welded on so we just bored them oversized and sleeved them back to standard.

    Easy way to tell if R or L.....trying to be PC here to avoid moderation. Hold S-cam.with cam against groin with splines sticking straight away from your body. Which ever testicle is "cradled" by the S-cam will tell you if R or L.
