Power flex rear shock bushings

[RWD BLOWS]

I just did new springs and shocks in the rear to start and when I was assembling the shock the directions say I need the original washers off the factory shock mounts but when took the original shocks off I saw no washers. Any advice on what I should do? I'm surprised bilstien didnt send them with the shocks. I only got 1 for each shock that goes on the top where the nut is but there is nothing supporting the bottom of the mount so i can just push down on the shock and it all comes apart....please help

Did your original shocks have sleeves on the top? That sleeve has a washer.

It had a washer on top that I put on the bottom of the new shock. The bilstiens only came with a washer to go on top the mount. When I used the original washer and test drove the car it pushed the washer down far on the shaft of the shock.

It appears that the shocks I took off did not have the lower washer which is causing my problem. Found some at ECS tuning. Kind of a bummer bavauto closed its doors.
