5100 - front boot/dust cover plastic retaining clip for shipping

gents,

a buddy did an install of 5100 over the weekend and has asked me to reach out to smarter minds than his / ours...

he kept/installed the plastic shipping retaining clip for the 5100 dust cover

• for the driver side - installed just be low the nylock nut (thought it was some sort of washer)
• for the pass side - realized it probably wasnt a washer, but maybe a retaining clip for the dust cover/boot

i sent him the toytec video of the 5100 assembly found here where the guy mentions to toss it / if kept it could eat into and tear the bushing????

is it worth it to take everything apart just to take out the plastic clip?

Personally I would want to know that it was done right... Especially before you pay to get it aligned.

 

we know it wasnt done right - maybe i wasnt clear in my question - what are the pros and cons of leaving those plastic pieces in there?

 

The dude in the video seems to know what he's talking about. If it were me, I would be taking that side back apart.
