Finally going through the boxes of spares that came with the car. Cant figure out what these things are. Any help appreciated. Car is a 99.


The round seal on top is slightly larger than the other two and all of them are smaller than the diff seals where the axles go in. The gasket? They are all in a bag together suggesting they go together. The bolt is for something on the suspension.

All this stuff is from stock suspension, right? Do I need any of it as spares for my SM suspension?

Thanks!

The top pic looks like a rear main, and two cam seals, a thermostat/temp sender gasket and a PPF bolt. Weird collection but no weirder than mine.

How about these? They are both described on MSM as lower ball joints. Only the big one seems to be pictured in the explded diagrams.

I think the larger round seal in the top picture is for the front of the crankshaft.

The bolt in the top pic is either for the front UCA or the rear LCA.

The seals are either cam seals or front crank seals. They're really close in size.

2nd picture has some parts from the shock hats and the seals may be from the wheel bearings, but not sure on that.

PIC # 1

The bolt is a rear suspension bolt. Attaches the upright to the lower control arm

The 3 seals are a combination of front crank and cam seals. Definately not a rear main seal. Without measurements I can't tell which is which

The gasket is a thermostat housing gasket which is also used at the back of the head where the heater hose attaches

PIC #2

The round black things look like OEM spring isolators, we do not use them

All the washers bushings, nuts etc are 99 shock hat parts, not used if running the Fat Cat design

PIC #3

Front Lower Ball Joint

Outer Tie Rod end
