Stole this from a YouTube clip. Looks like aftermarket axles don't have it.

My Ford Racing ones didn't come with a spacer. I wonder if aftermarket halfshafts are a slightly different dimension to not need the spacer compared to stock. What's interesting is the slight slop along the axis of the halfshafts when installed in the diff.

That's the only thing I can think of. Small nuances on these cars.

That clip is use to hold the larger shield in place on the axle. My guess is that the shield helps protect the backside of the hub bearing. Splash shield perhaps.
