Default adjustable strut rod problem!!

The Bushes in my oem strut rods were a bit perished on my 89 vert so thought I would by the adjustable rods from mid America for $99 with the poly bushings,who else has fitted these?
I have a problem with the installation,and have had no response from there tech department at this time,
The installation diagram is on there site.it says you must use centering cap washer(not included in kit and is shown in diagram) on end which is attached to the diff housing,so I attempted to use the oem one which wont fit,as the oem strut rods the bush insert hole(metal sleeve) is slightly larger.
Any suggestions?
