Where do these freaking washers go?

[BennyM]

Just did the rear dogbones and I'm pretty sure that whoever did them last did them wrong. For one thing the diagonal cross bar was actually IN-BETWEEN the dogbone and the subframe. For another, the placement didn't seem to match the pictures I've seen online, but then again, the online write-ups seem to disagree with each other in washer placement as well. And the RealOEM diagram has one of the bolts going in upside down, so that's not a very useful reference. I think I assembled things in a logical order, but can anyone show me a definitive diagram for the placement of the washers?

the ETK is a parts catalog but sometimes not good for assembling, I just found in the ETK another fault for the thermostat for the M70 engine, the O-Ring is in a wrong position.

These are great resources, Shogun, but even they don't jive with each other.
