If this is bent from removal, will it cause a leak when the axle is installed? Talking about the aluminum ring on the transmission side, not the clamp, but rather the front rounded aluminum cap

Hi:

That is more or less a dust cover. It is meant to help keep dirt out of the axle seal. If it is bent, just make sure it will not touch anything when the vehicle is moving.

I copied your pic and have an arrow pointing to what I believe you are referring to. If I misunderstood, please let me know.

Take care,

Joe
