I just checked "3"set of seats, and not one had washers

, however I remember seeing only four washers in a different set before, but I don't remember

what side they go on, sorry.

If your talking about the Thick washers I call them spacers they go on the outside of each seat to bring them up level. If you look at the seat you will see that they are needed to make the seat level. I can take a picture if you need? This set has never been taken apart So i belive they are correct.

Here you go. Sorry about the dark pictures but not much light out there in the storage.

That it! you got it.

They are used to level out the seats, and placement will vary. Eyeball the seats and put them where needed.

The Buddy bucket frame is lower on the outsides. Its the way it is built. Thats why there is a spacer.
