It came with the bearing but I wasn't 100% sure I need to use it (or even really what side of the bearing it would go). The old bearing had kind of a metal dust shield which looks like it would just butt up to the bearing on the differential side. Was thinking I might reuse it and eliminate the ring. I don't really completely understand the need for the ring. The old one didn't have one. Thoughts?
