Rebuilding the front driveshaft with sealed joints from dennys driveshafts. Found this in the box afterwards. Needed? I don't recall ever seeing this before on previous rebuilds. Does it need to slide over the centering ball/propeller shaft?

it's the dustcover for the centering bearing, you drive it on the center housing , metal ring first. A 1 1/2" PVC coupling works as a driver in a pinch. You can run without the dust cover, but I would recommend using it.
Thanks all. I've never seen or noticed it before. I'll disassemble it again tomorrow and put it on
This pic is of the pin side of the joint. If you shaft had a non greasable centering flange originally then you need that boot to help it seal. Now you can run a greasable centering flange in place of a non greasable but not vice versa.
