Front shock bushing install

[gx470]

I need help quickly on my Lexus gx470. I am installing these new strut mounts kyb sm5724 and I'm not sure if I will be using the washer with the half moon. It doesn't seem to fit in the bilstein 5100 shocks. Is this the correct order?

No half moon. I've never seen one.

Top part correct, bottom part, not sure what that long spacer is. And a washer below the bushing.

You don't use the half moon. That is for the electronic shock controller that you will no longer us. Also make sure the cutouts in the rubber spring isolator match up with the bottom of the mounting bolts.

Agreed, also make sure your lower shock mount is square to the "marked" stud for the shock tower, don't think it matters which one of three it's squared to
You should still use your normal bottom bushing waher

thank you all so much, very helpful as usual!!!

I think the metal sleeve is also related to the controller mount that you don't need.

that metal sleeve fit perfectly in the bushing that goes underneath the top mount and slid through the inside of the top mount. It looks like it holds the shaft in better, I installed it.
