    Hi im having a problem installing my bilsteins 4600 in the rear. I got 3 washers and 2 coushins. Would anyone know the right assembly way. My old ones only brought 2 washers and 2 coushings. Posting a pic of reference.

    The 3rd washer goes on the end/tip right? So the ears only use 1 washer, 1 cushion.

    I put the washer, cushion, frame, cushion and washer and nut. But.left the 3erd one out. The smaller one is the only one that goes straight down to the head lf the shock. The other ones would not fit that low.

    Its weird because theres only one thats goes straight to the shock head. And its the one thats different. The others 2 are the exact same fit.

    I would take it off and follow bilsteins instructions, personally. The washer right under the frame has a collar that helps retain things and prevent premature wear.
