    These came with the replacement Dana 25. They don't match the original boss. Are these normal for the closed knuckle on a Dana 25? The originals didn't come with the copper washer or the key and keyway. Also the pin goes through and sticks out on both sides by at least a half inch.

    the copper washer is a shim. will need more/better pics to see the keyway and the pin sticking out.

    if it were me i would use the old kingpins that came out of the diff,they shouldnt be worn,if i am thinking correctly all they do is hold the bearing in place,and as for the shims you should be able to put them back exactaly the way they came out,and be pretty darn close if not exactly in spec"unless someone has been into it before and mixed the shims up"
