Axle Help, Passenger Axle *Completed* Options

[Remy]

Hey all, I have a question the axle I bought didn't come with the items I circled is it suppose to come with it or do I have to order the parts from toyota ?? The one circled in green is some kind of mount for the axle not sure whats it called and the red one thats circled is some kind of metal seal for the axle, after putting in my new right axle which didn't come with those didn't know if I needed that metal axle seal connected everything put in new tranny fluid started the car then all my tranny fluid started spilling from that area that is circled red. Did I get the wrong axle ?? Oh and I tried to reuse those parts from the old axle bad idea doesn't work.

That bearing [not the whole housing, just the bearing] is supposed to come on the remanned axle, and so is the dust shield.

You got a half assed part [cheap aftermarket] and now your paying for it.

The dust shield doesn't seal the fluid in at all, that's the job of the axle seal in the trans. You probably damaged it when you pulled the old axle or installed the new one.

The dust shield does exactly what it's name says, it shields the axle seal from dust and debris.
