Wait, there should be NO difference in the REAR lower control arm; the front one is the change. The FRONT one is the one that the shock attaches to. Are we talking about the same thing?

They do not have a washer. The boot does compress a little once installed. Also, the nut included is not that big of a deal. I tend to reuse the original hardware as long as it's in good condition and not one time use specified.

if you measure from the tip of the threads to the base of the boot where it meets the metal arm, is it different? If so, how much?
