Did I mess up control arm washers? 900 1993

I replaced the bushings om my 1993 960 with new "harder" rubber ones.
I also got new washers, front and rear.
After the "excitement" of wrestling with the suspension, I now realize that I fitted only the front ones, the rear washer/support seems to have a big flat stop and forms part of the control arm.
I am not sure if I did the job correctly.
I did take the car and got the front end aligned and it seems to be OK.
Although when I look at it now, an "extra" rear washer may fit.

    The 960 up to 1994 front ends are the same as the 940 and most if not all 740s. The earlier versions (year???) of this control arm had a bump stop for the large washer. Later front ends have the large washer welded in place and you do not use the additional washer. Many suppliers just provide the universal kit with both washers. The profile of the welded on washer should look like the one in your hand. If you have just a bump stop then you will have to add the washer.--
