Hi fellas and felleses;   Quick question, when fitting the Radius Arms to the Subframe where do the large washers go, between the Radius Arm and the Subframe or Camber Bracket or on the other side of the Subframe or Camber Bracket.   I have searched for a few pics and it looks like the go on the inside butted between the Radius Arm and Subframe / Camber Bracket and on the other side is the nut and spring washers??   Thanks

Inside butted to radius arm with the swirly pattern towards the arm then the rubber seal goes over.

Sorry still not quite clear, so the Large Washer and Spring Washer go on the outside and there is nothing between the Radius Arms and the metal on the Subframe or the Camber Brackets??? This means that there is nothing between these moving parts?

Radius arm -> big washer (rubber seal around) -> subframe or bracket -> spring washer -> nut

Might be a little confusing from the previous pic because I have and extra washer before spring washer. Came part of a stainless kit.

The large washe has the rubber seal around the outside diameter and it fits between the end of the arm and the bracket. If it didn't the arm would not fit correctly and would slide along the radius arm pin. The rubber seal is to keep the DGS out of the arm.

Found the old ones in a plastic tub, good job I never throw anything away, perfectly serviceable. Everything went together OK too.

Outside of LH Radius Arm with seal in place:

 

 

Tightening up the lower bolt on the Camber Bracket, more access when lifting the Radius Arm up:

 

 

And job done:

 

 

As I was packing up I noticed that I had forgotten to fit the wheel studs, so off with the rear hubs as I don't think they'll fit in behind?
