Default [washer on backwards?] - mechanic said the washer is on backwards.. this is the rear suspension.
both sides look the same on the rear. my mechanic said the washer is on backwards. basically he said the rubber piece should not be touching the control arm. can anyone confirm if this looks wrong?
