    Can't find this answer in any diagrams or repair instructions online.

    The very long inner bolt that holds in the upper A-arms for the 4WD, has a "dished" washer on both ends. Which way does the "dish" go? Does it go the same way on both ends?

    My originals are all too rusty to tell on the rear washer. Front washers were installed with the outer area of the washer away from the rubber bushing.

    New parts look to fit better with the dish in towards the bushing. My question is: which way does the rear washer go? same as the front with the dish away from the bushing, or with the dish towards the bushing?
