That really sucks. And to think that King Motorsports claims to be the creme de creme of aftermarket providers! It's starting to seem like they aren't genuinely concerned with your satisfaction as a customer.

I finally got the right parts in the mail on Friday.
i have a question before i put things together. The bearing that goes on the pinion has a metal retaining washer that is keeping it in place on the shaft, so the bearing doesnt move. It needs to be bent to fit into a groove on the shaft. The pinion i have from Quaife has the groove for the washer, but i dont have one. Should i go to Honda and get one put on there? or should i trust the snap ring from the housing to keep the bearing in place? The bearing itself doesnt come off by hand (i had to put it in the oven to expand it enough to get it on there, then i made pizza) but my hand doesnt make nearly as much force as the wheels on my car do, so im not sure if its safe or not.
Just fishing for opinions and advice, as i have never dealt with steering components before.
here is a pic if im being confusing
