Can anyone tell me the difference between these two free hub bodies ?
Can anyone confirm that the 9 bearings are placed in the (apparent) race in the in the notched body on the right?

I’m having a spot of bother
1) the free hub on the left was the original - I bought the one in the right to replace it
2) tightening the cone sends it too far in so that I can’t use the cone wrench
3) Simply turning the axle from the non drive side tightens or loosens the cone without me even touching the cone -
4) there weren’t any spacers - initially the locknut was secured fast - probably locktite’d away from the cone -
5) setting cone just right (as explained in every video and guide) and then tightening the lock nut against the cone is a pointless Exercise as the axle turning then tightens it even more - and then point 3. Above comes into force and they both make their way in-wards to tighten horribly jamming the wheel
Admittedly the bearings in the non drive side are rough as a ninja and I’ve ordered a replacement 61901RS cartridge bearing. So it may be friction which is doing this - or it may be that I’ve erred and am using the wrong grease - thick blue parktool stuff rather than the butter scotch type.
Would spacers help? Or the apparent original locktite locknut method?
Or Is the hub is basically screwed?
