4x4 axle help

Have a 2000 ex v10 4x4 we are in the process of putting a new entire front end on it, tie rods, ball joints, drag bars, etc,

Were almost done we did the driver side first, no issues well the passenger side has 2 round thrust washers with a hexagon one, and a gray plastic looking on which is for the vacuum for 4 wheel drive....there all good...no wear etc...

My question there was none of this on the driver side I don't even remember there being a vacuum line on the driver side, are they missing or am i missing something.....

There should be a vacuum line on both sides, this is what operates the automatic hubs.

Large one goes grove up on the back side of the seal hub unit with groves facing in - you can't see them once installed.
The three smaller ones go metal, plastic, metal on the shaft after you put the locking hub back on. Then there is a snap ring that goes on top of those three. If you don't have all 4 washers and a snap ring you have an issue.

You don't need hub vacuums if you have manual hubs.
