Can't remember if I fitted washers there, but I don't think mine is pulled in, although that might be because I've got nylon bushes with stainless inners on all the rear bushes. I did find that you can get several different thicknesses of washer, especially if you have got some stainless ones, it definitely helped to get the packing about spot on.

Hi Craig, my early build manual show the same, but the bottom arms on the are clearly being bent inwards and it looks like it might be binding a bit. Think if I can make room, I will try and get a slightly thinner washer than the M12 either side of the bushes to get it moving freely.
