    Hey guys happy Easter. Could someone help to show me the layout of the bushing and washer layout of the upper shock mount assembly? I took this apart awhile ago and can't remember how it goes. Stock shock setup but just want to be sure I get the correct bushings with the right washers when I put it together. Thanks
    Paul

    Pretty sure but don't quote me on this: Put a washer on the shock then a bushing, through the mount on the frame then another bushing then the last washer. Both washers face upwards as in the smaller side up.

    Sometime they add hardware you don't need.

    Off my memory.

    Nut, small hole washer, bushing, frame, tapered washer, bushing, large hole washer, shock.

    It's the stock setup with a set of the Bilstein stock shocks. I wish I could see a picture of the specific washers you guys are referring to. Maybe I will Google it and see what I can find.

    I assume that the last number of the three in the attached Toyota link is ft-lbs? Ie the top rear shock bolt is 15 ft-lbs and the lower one is 74 ft-lbs? thanks
