You don't say what kind of car you have, but on my older Chrysler
products, that is all there was. If you go to the dealer, he can look
at the display screen showing that assembly and ascertain for sure.
While you are there, it wouldn't be a bad idea to buy that rubber bush
in case it tears; I'd probably replace it anyway, just to be sure,
especially if the car is old.
