'spare part?' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'few finally list eccentric' is the wordplay.
'finally' says to take the final letters.
'list' becomes 'heel' (both can mean to lean or tilt).
'eccentric' becomes 'nut' (nut is a kind of eccentric).
The last letter of 'few' is 'w'.
'w'+'heel'+'nut'='WHEEL NUT'
