I'll try the dealer FRI but they usually don't have the parts I want and I need car running by SUN.

Preload tension spacing sleeve is the technical term.
It locks in the preload tension spacing between bearings.
Like on many domestic RWD pinion gear axle.
You are up the old river without a paddel.
Sorry for the bad news PEH.
Pray you get lucky at the dealer.
