I don't need to see any pictures to tell you that there are no washers or anything that go on.
The bearing goes in on its own into the strut, then there's a securing circlip.
One the driveshaft nut is torqued, it squeezes the centre part of the bearing. so there would be NO play.
Just because the shaft looks old doesn't mean it's the correct one, if it's been horsed up with an impact gun its maybe been squeezing the bearing just enough.
There are 2 sizes of bearing. 35mm inner diameter and 37mm inner diameter
35mm inner diameter bearings take the NON tapered driveshaft type. (1999 and before)
37mm inner diameter bearings take the TAPER style later shaft. (1999 onwards)
So look at whatever bearing you have bought, and buy a shaft to match.
Notice the different styles of hub nut as well.
