    They go below the upper bushings inside the spindles to keep the grease from running out,,,,,,the van would not care if you left them out,,,,,,,

    ,,,,the O ring is there to help keep grease in.....so you really would not want it below the bearings to keep grease from being pumped up into the bearings.....
