[rear suspension] - washer is on backwards, can anyone confirm?

apparently the silver washer in the pic is on backwards. rauch said it should be flipped around, and that someone had obviously been working on the area, both the rears look the same. he noticed this right away too, can anyone confirm? also, does anyone kow the torque spec on that bolt the washer goes thru? thanks.

Ayup! Tis on backwarads. IIRC, the torque spec is something like 50-60ft/lbs.

Nice seeing you there. Too back I couldn't hang around any longer and chat, I had to get the info to Howard and bolt.

thanks Dean.

that bimmer looks really clean for the year, I can't wait to see it perform at TR. hopefully it will be ready by then, I assume he'll have the TB done by then. I need to throw a set of new pads on before the event, I guess im down to the sensor. I might just throw a set of Pagid RS4-2 Blue or Ferodo DS2500 and run them on the street/track/autox.
