    JTD rsm's do i use the round "plates" with these?

    Do i use the round "plates" with these. i forgot to buy new nuts for the top of the shock mounts, i only got the ones for the base of it...so hopefully a hardware store will have the size/thread pitch.

        I think you should reuse all the old washers and spacers.

          they are round little plates, they sit on top and bottom of the mount. sounds like i will be reusing them.

            Make sure they go back in the same order and orientation as they were installed.

              Call the manufacturer or a reputable parts house that sells those mounts and ask. The shocks I took off my car did not have all of the hardware and it turns out it was because they were slightly different than stock mounts. In my case NOT having the lower plate turned into a big problem.

              Unless someone else here can give you a definitive answer my suggestion is do your homework on this one. Having to replace new shock mounts a week/month after installing them is not a good time :)

                You need to have plates on there.
