oh btw thanks for the input guys,
dont mean to come off as "hey whats your opinion on this?" ...*answer* "NO UR WRONG" lol

i guess if more people chime in and concur, then ill defintely believe it...

BUT vixtor says the 3 notch things are spacers, but there are two spacers in between the two 3 notch pieces, and they dont have notches....
and i think the thing on top is a top lock nut, because it has the same rounded top, but instead of hexagonal flats it has 3 notches.


anyway i was going to take everything off, clean and grease, then reinstall.....but the headset seems to rotate smoothly already, it just seems loose. so i might just hammer it tighter with a flat head screwdriver.
