New rubber dampeners will easily slide into the recess in the wheel, and the internal metal sleeves will be a very tight fit into the dampeners.
When worn however (around 100k miles), the metal sleeves will noticably wobble inside the dampeners, causing adjacent wear on the big flat/round plate that constrains them all... and create slop in the drive-line.
Hint: It's cheaper to buy a complete low-mileage used rear wheel (for perhaps $30) than to replace the dampeners at $100.
