Part # is in the text above the photos, 9.8103.
The ball and socket on the driver's side wears the most; however, the pressure exerted by the polyurethane grommet keeps them together.
In extreme cases, deep pits may exist on the stud due to environmental exposure and lack of grease. The user will need to make a judgement call on whether to use them. The ones I've rebuilt for my cars have not had that kind of damage.
The photo's show where I hammer bent the metal strip over the metal cap, using a press and sockets to hold the assembly. The final capture was done with a hydraulic press and a socket. The witness marks will show what and where it was done. The metal to metal seal is not perfect so some grease may ooze from that joint.
A 7" x 0.311 x 0.062 metal strip is roll formed around a socket and then cut and welded the ends to make a tube to fit around the cup.
