Cool 79 F150 STEERING COUPLER

I just bought a new coupler for my truck and it came with some plastic parts installed that I have never seen before.
Is this a new design or they need to be removed?
It can be installed with them on it just fine. See pic of the new vs old.
This is an actual Ford replacement part. Thanks for the help!! jb

Look like they are a extra bushing, to absorb some of the clearance, maybe even guards on the outer sides. If not hurting, I'd leave them in place.

That was my thought as well.
I really cant see Ford putting them there just for kicks. I've just never seen them before.
Thanks for the reply!
