OK HAYNES MANUAL AND FIAT MANUAL AE SAYING THE SAME THING..... DUST COVER AND SEAL.... IAP SHOWA A BOOT BUT IT IS DISCONTINUED .... JUST BEHIND DONUT IS GREASE FITTING THEN A DUST COVER AND WHAT LOOKS LIKE USED TO BE SOME TYPE OF SEAL OR BOOT... THAT IS NOW MISSING AND AT 2500 TO 3500 RPMS THAT DUST SHEILD IS RATTLING... GREASE FITTING DOES NOT FILL THE DUST SHIELD....GUESS I AM GOING TO HAVE TO TRY AND FIND SOME TYPE OF FAT RUBBER WASHER TO MODIFY TO REPLACE THE SEAL......ANY IDEAS OR ANY BODY THAT HAS RUN INTO THIS BEFORE WOULD BE HELPFUL....THANKS

sorry no camera.. but it came off with the 3 bolt piece when i changed the donut..after closer inspection it is the front axle dust cover..rattles a little but i think that the grease fitting will solve that...just finished center bracket ..new donut..and u joints..what a difference
