Would this be for suspension crush tubes?

We purchased a pair of rose jointed top wishbones from MK
But rather than have to get made up spacers (crushtubes)
we used stainless steel washers instead, needed 80 all told 20 per leg
This made it much easier to set up caster & assemble, as you can fit one washer
at a time until you have the caster right , then fill in the rest, easy peezy.
both sides of the car were different.
washers were about £5 for 100.
Good luck
