8.75 Sure Grip axle end play - left side

What sure grip are we looking at here, clutch or cone?

Somethings amiss if the thrust buttons/block is installed correctly.

Honestly, I don't know how to tell the difference between clutch or cone. How does it matter? The thrust buttons are the same anyway, aren't they?

Do thrust buttons come in different sizes?
Does the year of the carrier I got then make a difference? (I'm not sure what year it is)

The roll pin between the buttons can go ALL THE WAY through each of them, so they don't really set a distance between the axles; they just butt up against the carrier and take up that amount of space. Therefore, the right axle adjustment has no effect on the left axle adjustment. Could I have a wrong set of thrust buttons?

Hmmm.
