Creative Steel Rear Upper Control Arm Bushings question
I'm in the process of doing a major overhaul on my '04 V. Today's project is reassembling the rear cradle. I put the CS control arm bushings in yesterday - however, the card that came shipped with the rear control arm bushings has a note that "Stainless steel plates are installed touching the bushing flange".
However, unlike the front upper control arm bushings, the rears did not ship with a stainless plate - only a washer that I suspect is intended to go under the bolt head.
Before I put these back in and bolt everything up, I wanted to see if anybody else has already dealt with this.
CS's website pics don't show any stainless plates on the rear bushing pictures, so I'm thinking Max just did a copy/paste on his instruction card for the rears and forget to edit it.
I'll be calling CS in the morning if nobody here responds, but I figured if I could get an answer here today, all the better.
Thanks!

Chris, you are correct, it was a copy/paste fail. We just caught it about Thursday afternoon I believe. The rear upper control arm bushings do not come with stainless plates. We apologize for the inconvenience!
