93 FXSTS front axle

Does anyone have an assembly drawing for the front axle/wheel on a 93 fxsts. My shop manual is for my 91 fxsts, but after going through a Chrysler station wagon a number of years ago, I replaced the front end with the newer low fender style (1993?) front end.
Something just doesn't seem right on the threaded end of the axle, as if there should be a bushing around the thread and inside the rocker to eliminate any play in the axle.

Cheers
JR

You should post this in the Evo section for a better chance of getting an answer.

All definitely helpful. Very much appreciated. The springer front end is very much a PITA to work on but I do love the look of it.

I thought I saw this thread originally in the Softail section but now I see it in the Evo section. Strange stuff sometimes happens around here.

Thanks. I finally figured out that the washer/spacer on the right side does not go under the head of the axle, but instead goes between the rocker and the brake caliper mounting bracket. This would appear to be the same as the 1991 installation.
