there was a bloke on here the other day. he had the castle nut goin loose on him. always the passenger side usually. strange your mates is the drivers side. its because the short shaft is slightly too long. but no reason on the long shaft

there should be a washer on either side wany way on conversion hubs, they should come with one when you buy them

yes but it should reduce that 3mm of play on the bearing shouldnt it then they should last longer than 2-3 days lol

cant say whether they are the same for all as ive only ever had one pair of hubs in my xe/let life, they are mtech ones which have a washer either side and ive never had a problem.
ive been running 350 bhp ish for 3-4 years aswel
and to answer your earlier question the washer that comes with them goes between the hub and the cv joint

lmf's mtech onescame with a asher that went between the cv and hub as without it you couldnt get the split pin through the castle nut, they actually sell the washer seperate on the mtech site for about #5
the hubs i got from chris astley came with a box lol just a hub with nothing
