Judging from that pic I'd say you're missing the shocks.

Might be worth sending the pic to one of our supporting vendors that sell Koni to get their take.

I have the Koni FSD's and it looks like you're missing one of the white plastic washers (which slide over the shaft) and one of the silver washers that mount above and below the rubber bushings. The larger silver washers I used to hold the stock dust covers on the Koni's, which do not come with the covers. (You have to drill out the stock covers slightly to fit the Koni Shafts.) I have a diagram from the Koni's that shows the proper mounting sequence. If you'd like I can mail you a copy. Just PM your address to me!

I also have the FSD's. I say you're correct in your analysis. I didn't bother to put the OEM dust boots on as I was told the discs were all that's necessary. So far so good though.
