I bought these suspension mounts:

Basically, the instructions say to remove the old mounts and put in the new ones. But they have this rubber washer that goes just to the inside of the new posts. On the exploded view of that assembly, there is a little "O ring" right inside the post (#31), so I'm wondering what purpose the new washer is supposed to fulfill? A member here also said his washers wore out fairly quickly, and he recommended getting a teflon or steel one instead. I've never taken that assembly apart, so from the Majestic Honda diagram it's a little hard to see what fits over what when it's all together.
Can someone enlighten me? I guess it wouldn't matter if another washer goes in there, but I wonder if the rotating action of the arm will wear on it. Maybe the clearances aren't that tight, and this is all moot.
Thanks.
