While replacing the OEM axles with Dana Spicer Chrome Moly axles, the shop called me to confirm that I had bought the correct front axles for the FAD because the passenger side did not seem to fit properly. It turns out that I was the first person to replace the OEM with Dana parts versus RCV or another axle brand and the shop had not seen the below.
There is a bushing in the inner inner stub shaft that is made of plastic (item #3 in the image below) and the replacement axles are larger and thus this bushing is not required. Though perhaps not load bearing, it is a strange place to use a plastic bushing.
Thought that I would share...
