I just got my Bilsteins from Adsitco and installed one of the the front shocks. Its pretty easy especially if the 2 small bolts holding down the shocks at the lower end are not seized. I held off on the the other side till tomorrow after I sprayed the area with liquid wrench. The bolts wouldn't budge yet.

Anyway, my question is the correct placement of the big washers and rubber bushings that came with the shocks. It came with 2 washers and 2 bushings. The original on the car was one bushing and one washer. I am wondering in what order these go. The original on the car on the engine side (instead of wheel well side) from bottom to top was bushing, washer, bolts. on the wheel well side was just the shock boot - no washers or bushing.

I am not sure if the orig on the car is how MB did it since I have no reference to consult.

I have looked at some of the links provided in this forum but nothing specific to a 300D. Anyone know of a good reference or link? Thanks.
