Default washer size

Please, Can anybody tell me what is the correct size washer to use on the 54mm hydra bush on the outer lower rear control arm. I"m getting two answers from people a 1mm washer or is it the obvious 2.5mm. I have the bushings not the washers I can not find any threads on correct spacing this very important to maintain correct geometry of the rear suspension.

2007 s-type base 3.0 Canadian car.

The link below is for an Ebay seller that explains that there are two washers supplied for the 59mm.
"Set of 3 bushes to repair one rear lower wishbone.

For all models of JAGUAR S-TYPE and X-350

There are two sizes of this bush, 59mm and 54mm, due to this, one of the bushes is supplied with two spacing washers for those with the 59mm bush."
However, if you get in touch they may give you the correct size details for your 54mm hydra bush.

I have no knowledge or affiliation with this Ebay site.

I hope this is useful.

Default outer lower control arms hydra bushings problems

Hey Paul792

Just got home after driving the car for a few kms , after switching out bushings again 4th time. Outer lower rear ones left and right, washers would not fit (2,5mm) and after a few kms squeaking came back and bad handling ,I'm having a hard time finding someone that has a fix for the hydra bushings. The people should be made aware the one people are selling on the web don't work very long, days. From what if find . my s type is a 2007 base 3.0. the center of the bushing is 54mm installed have no play washers will not fit. from what i see the outer part of the bushing that comes in contact with the control arm (not the area the bolt go thru) is not wide enough to narrow I can not find a thread that deals with this or someone that has been successful at fixing this ,I think it cannot be done without buy new oem arms.
