    Anyone know what the extra metal washer is with the installation kit for the Bilstein 5100 height adjustable shock? The kit comes with the rubber bushing, a lower washer, an upper washer, a nut, the spring seat, and a large extra metal washer. What is that for??

    Also, there are 2 different sized bushing washers. Which one goes under the top hat and which goes on the top of the upper rubber bushing??
