A micrometer come in handy here.

Thicker will position the cups inwards tighter and thinner allows them out for a loser fit
never throw out old clips, you may be able to help a mate out, or yourself a some stage down the track.
I've measured old one's bagged n tagged em for another day, spare parts.
always use same thickness on each side to maintain center
Thanx mate. I decided to pull it out and examine, as well as measure the circlip thickness & the uni joint.
The old one I pulled out was in pretty good condition, so I definitely keep it as a backup.
The reason I replaced the old one was that the old didn't have a grease nipples to regrease it, and also had some uneven movement
on the driveshaft side bearings. There was slightly more tightness comparing to york side, but nothing like it is now though.
