Default Help on Jaguar / Contemporary front suspension

I'm redoing the front Jaguar based suspension in my Contemporary. As I reassemble it, I'm checking my Jaguar manual and it's a bit ambiguous. Could one of you guys do me a favor and check something out for me on your car? I replaced all the A arm bushings with poly. On the lower A arm, front bushing, here's the question: The end of it that has the castle nut has a thick washer between the nut and the bushing. On the same lower front A arm bushing, is there any washer at all between the bushing and the A arm? It would appear from both the Jag service manual, as well as the other side of my car that I haven't disassembled yet, that these lower front bushing are the ONLY ones that don't have a washer at each end. I believe this to be correct since I inadvertently assembled it with a washer at each end and it's not fitting correctly. Before I take it apart and remove the washer, could someone else please check? At this point of assembly, it'll only take me about 10 minutes to break it back down. I just want to make 100% sure it's right this time. Thanks!
Doug
