From your picture on the left of the original post, it looks like you got two outer races on there. The balls roll directly on the shaft and there is an outer race that's followed with the adjusting plug. The end up top is about the same, one race.
If I remember right, you had to slide some parts on the shaft after you put it through the housing for some reason. I also seem to remember I had 'er greased up real good when I discovered this.
The diagram above is great. Use it.
The best thing you can do is straighten the back plate to the shaft since it pulled out of square in the factory the minute they welded it. "Pinion Arm Plate & Shaft" in diagram.
