I though the quick discos came with two mounting locations. When you unmount them you flip em upside down and Put the pins in. We got the same ones but I dunno. Fyi dot put them where they tell you, they will turn into metal bump stops. Not good.

Doing the same myself once I wrangle up all the parts
That is a great Idea. It's now on the must do list.

is there a gap between the pin and the outer edge of the bushing? If so install a washer there. I personally would use 2 washers - one metal, one rubber. You want that joint to be as tight as posssible.

Yeah I believe there is. I'll have to take a closer look. I think my spring iso and sway bars bushings are shot too. Maybe not the isos, but it could also be my upper bump stop hitting the coil. The noise only happens over cracks, small bumps, anything that sends a quick jolt of movement to the pass side. Driver side is quite at all times. I drove over know noisy roads with the sway bar off and no connected discos, same noise. Not as frequent or loud

How did you get your pass side on not to hit your steering? if i point the pass dis inward towards center of the axle, it gets caught up in the linkage where the drag link connects to the tie rod

I am guessing if you read the post with the pic two post above your question.. it is answered for you as to why it is on the outside and not pointed towards the center... he had an issues with the disco. getting caught up between the linkacage where the drag link connects to the tie rod... so to avoid this, he inverted it to the outside.. till he can fix the issue..
