I had planned to be in the garage today, replacing a front shock on my â??72 
GT.  I think the issue I had noticed was actually caused by a missing bolt on 
the front anti-roll bar; but Iâ??m going ahead with the shock replacement since 
itâ??s here and paid for.

I noticed, during disassembly, that the manual calls for a spring washer under 
the castellated nut on the pin that attaches the shock A-arm to the kingpin.  
(If I have the terminology correct).  My car was missing that spring washer.

Is that a reason for concern?  Could it be effectively replaced with a flat 
washer?  I couldnâ??t identify an item number for it in the Moss catalogue  . .

Thanks to everyone who contributed to the thread, especially Paul Hunt.  And 
thanks in advance for your responses!
