I still don't see how this washer is the answer to the clicks. To me, the answer is more axle nut torque to slow down the backlash of splines.

My book reads the same as yours, 14076924. The washer behind the castellated spindle nut is a 562249. My book, too, doesn't show the Teflon washer in the 1984 - 1987 illustration, but when I go to group 5.806 and check out the part number, it is listed for 1984 and up. The 14076924 washer is listed to have a 58 mm O.D. The spindle nut washer says it is 45 mm O.D.

That was my guess, since the 562249 number is typical of what GM uses when it's an off the shelf washer, like the outer washer is.
I mean, who buys $0.06 washers at the GM dealer for $22?
