According to the assembly book, no washer is supposed to be there. No instructions to say leave that bolt loose either. EDIT - just found this

We did back out the servo saver nut the 5 1/2 turns per the instructions.

There is a happy medium with the servo saver, too loose and the car wont turn, too tight and the servo will absorb all the impact.
Does backing out the servo saver nut (the blue anodized piece) constitute loosening or tightening?
I think throwing a washer on top of that assembly may completely disable the servo saver. With the bolt loosened, I'm getting full travel right to left, with absolutely no shock absorption on full right or left.
