the metal "cup" at the far right of the picture goes down onto the top of the shock body AFTER the metal part of the lower spring perch goes on, then the black piece looks like the bumpstop so it goes on, then the dust boot (part on the far left), not sure on the flat washers location and the nut goes up on the very top after the upper mount AND dog bone go on. this is the typical assembly of front shocks for f-bodies.

I would need to see the top end of the STR.T to venture a guess on the flat washers position.

I just looked at my shocks and I don't have the little black piece in my. Is this something I need? Never mind I found it.
