    Should washers be used on guibo bolt+nuts?

    It seems as though 3 of my 6 guibo bolts had washers on them (on the nut side). Realoem only shows a bolt and nut, no washer. Should I ditch the 3 washers?

        RealOEM shows washers being used, part #6.

        Balance won't be thrown off because the holes are symmetrical in a circle. And even if they weren't, the weight of a few washers won't cause a problem.

          That's actually an error in BMW's ETK program believe it or not. When new they came with no washers.
