quick question regarding washers on rear bilstein shocks

[fanofe30s]

I've been running around with bilstein sport shocks and h&r sports for the last 2 years now. I've noticed a LOT of squeaking recently when going over slight imperfections in the road and I'm pretty sure it's the rear shocks.

I've been emailing a rep from bilstein back and forth for a while now, and we both established that the order of the washers are wrong. Instead of waiting another day or two for a proper response from them, can someone tell me what the correct order is supposed to be?

The way I have it right now is: shock-> cone shaped washer pointing upwards (I think it's supposed to be opening downwards?)->rear shock mount->regular washer(supposed to be somewhere else?)->nut on top



Is the correct order supposed to be: shock->regular washer->coneshaped washer opening downwards->rearshockmount-> nut on top?
or shock->coneshaped washer-> regular washer->rear shock mount -> nut on top?

Appreciate it!

Cone shaped washer on top is suppose to point downward. Like a bowl of soup!

so, beautiful paint drawing aside, like this? Or is the bowl of soup supposed to be the other way? haha

Easy #12 & #6

It's just confusing because from the diagram at realoem, both #6 and #12 are cone shaped, whereas for these, I only have one cone shaped thing and one flat washer. When I installed it, I figured the cone should go on the bottom. I haven't gotten an email response today, but I know they told me the washer underneath the top nut is wrong, so I'm assuming the two washers have to be switched around then?

I'll update if I hear back from them also.
