Bolts and Washers for 1/4 Elliptics

[Jim_Gruber]

What is the proper order for bolts and Washers for 1/4 Elliptic Shocks. I'm thinking a 3/8x24 Bolt with a Flat Washer on one side or perhaps a Lock Washer on that side as well and on the other side Flat Washer and a Metal Locking Type Nylock Nut. Is that correct?

Spacer for Radius Arm Rod. What side does it go on? Pics Anyone?

I assume you are talking about bolting on the rear shocks to the chassis. Bolt, washer, shock, washer, nut. Yes, a nyloc or similar is best to prevent shake loosening.
Not sure if there is a correct side for the spacer at the chassis side. I am under the impression that is was used to overcome the "alignment" issues that exist due to fabrication tolerances. I bolted everything else back together, made sure that everything was straight and then shimmed the trailing arm as needed to make sure it would move freely

Thanks Joe, pretty sure it goes on the axle end of the radius arm and I figured out reassembly order.
