Default Help with Poly control arm bushings

I no longer have the inside washer for the bushings to go back on my front control arms. It looks like the new bushings should have come with this washer if it is needed. Which lead me to my first question.
Are these washers needed?
If they are needed, where can I get them?

Thanks

Not sure, but I can see that happening to me. That is why my car is on the way to Van Steel to install the kit! :smash:

Yeah, I make need one of those large washer metal discs that go on the outside where the bolt goes through if I can't find it. I used the impacted to unscrew it (worked so nicely) and then the impacted tossed into the wall and under the workbench. It's gotta be around here somewhere...

Yes you need them. The bushing could slide out if you don't have it on.

You can get a complete hardware kit from Corvette Central or I can send you my old ones if you want them. Send me an email if you need them.
