upper control arm rebuild?

i am going to rebuild my upper 73-87 2wd upper control arms with the black poly bushing kit from energy suspension. i took them a part in a hurry and do not remember if it is important which way the shaft goes. also i have a little washer along with the two big washers for the center shaft. does anyone have a factory brake down or a picture of how to reassemble these. i searched with no success. thanks again daniel

Does the washer your talking about have a serrated edge? It goes toward the back on mine. I really don't know what purpose it servers, I've left it out before and not had any problems.
