Installing new bushings on my trailing arms. Where do these washers go? As pictured? It came with 4. It seems like if I use 2 washers on 1 bushing that it will be too high for the pin to flare and retain everything. Any quick guidance would be appreciated!

Both of the washers are used. You have to press and compress it all together using a hydraulic press - it can't be "free-assembled" as you're doing. You also need the sleeve flaring tool. You can see the assembly process here:

AND the original washer are better if you can save them. The flare seats more flush. The repop washers don't have enough bevel to "receive" the flare and it ends up sticking proud of the washer surface, making the shim work problematic

Thanks for the heads up. I'm installing offset arms: am I still going to need shims and all of that for the trailing arms?
