Please note that the bolt is to be tightened until the arms of the shock contact the metal sleeve that is shown being inserted into the rubber bushings. That controls the amount of crush on the rubber. Could be this sleeve was a little short and squished the rubber too much? More likely the rubber was the wrong type, or a bit too large. The washers are handy to help bring the nut to a hole so it can be pinned.
