Default Big thick washers

I'm doing a bunch of rear suspension work. Yes, it's taken me months. As such I have some thick washers. Both are 5mm think. One has an OD of 30mm and the other 34mm. Where do these go? I've had the entire rear suspension apart. I think they may go into the rear bearing flange. Thanks in advance for the help..

they might be the washers for the monster torsion tube mounts behind the doors (the front-to-back oriented rubber bushing that goes into the aluminum end caps of the torsion tube assembly, that mounts to the body (bottom right)

I'm with Spencer. Find the big *** bolts that go through those bushings and see if you left any washers on them. Don't know why they would be different sizes though. Another possiblity might be your shock mounts.

Thanks guys. I replaced that rubber bushing with the racers edge spherical bearings. I think you leave the washers out when doing that. Could be why I have extras.

While on the subject of rear ends, does anyone out there have an early E-Brake backing plate they would like to sell? Thanks, in advance.

What does an early e-brak backing plate look like? I just may have one.
