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!

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.
Top is ball joint. Bottom is outer tie-rod.

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

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

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

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

Front Lower Ball Joint
Outer Tie Rod end
