guys,
there is conflicting info on the forums about where the two washers (which have to be added due to the replacement part being different) are meant to go to avoid the banging noise after fitting new mounts. I got mine done today but it still bangs away. Do the washers go above the cup-shaped washer, under the retaining nut? Or under the cup shaped washer? Also is this the same for both sides as they're different parts?

I put the cup washer on so that it mounts against the alloy centre piece of the mount like it did originally and then put the extra washers under the nut to stop the nut from running out of thread before it tightens

my au2 has them out of sight under the cup shaped washer, and is less noisy than the au3 which just got new ones, with three washers fitted under the top nut. It bangs harshly on big bumps, but the mounts are working fine..
AU IRS gives me nightmares.
