OK, so having finally sorted out my axle stands I have been spending much of the day fitting the Crown / RT upgraded steering. I believe this is basically the ZJ Tie Rod swap, but in one package and a safer bet as I know it is for RHD TJs. I have the replacement drag link and tie rod fitted and I have followed @Jerry Bransford's excellent instruction for getting the alignment sorted out.
I do however, have one quandry left, the replacement steering stabiliser. The next two pictures show the original one I have removed and the parts in the Crown / RT kit...
There are no instructions with the kit (annoying), so I am trying to work out the correct way to assemble and install the new stabiliser. It looks to me like the long sleeve gose over the bolt and then the short sleeve, which looks to create a taper. but why do I have three washers (one really thick and a lock washer, where do they all go? Or have I left something off elsewhere when fitting the drag link and tie rod?
