Notice there's quite a big gap either side of plastic thrust washers.

Normal or do you pack it out to fill gaps with washers? Did tighten as is and saw the end of top wishbone start to flex.

Thanks, didn't know that!

This indented washer wasn't there when i removed it. Kind of worrying.

Just noticed this piece isn't for a chimp.

Think I'll add some flat washers, can't seem to find this special part

I found some washers that I think are good, 7/16 hole same size as bush on the outside (I think 1"1/4) and about 2mm thick, ideal I think. I even ground two flats on the washer so I could use them on the outside of the wishbone as I thought the standard washer was a tad small and only just covering the hole in the wishbone. I think I have some left if you are stuck
I have just been in the garage and took a picture but I don't know how to post it if my wife can figure it out,(she's the brains of the operation) I'll post a picture
