I also have no idea what part you are talking about. From the 3-4 sets i've done, the cups are seated straight into the housing end. No plastic parts at all.

Yes I know the bits you are talking about. They go under the king pin bearing races top and bottom of the swivel ball. As for the part no I'm not sure but I'm sure people replace em all the time. Can't help you with part no though sorry. Try the patrol4x4 forum I may have seen a part no on there somewhere
