Getting ready to install the front axle shafts and I bought the parts mentioned in the F150 disk conversion article. I know where the plastic beveled bushing goes. My question is about the rubber gasket. It goes over the metal sleeve and when axle shaft is pushed in it forms a seal?

See picture - may make more sense??

thanks
brian
