I had the OEM replica rears/ poly front strut rod bushings installed at the shop.. but where in the hell are the washers?

Got the car back, steering feels infinitely better and the binding sensation is gone, but looking underneath I'm curious were
the rears installed correctly..? there aren't any washer holding them and I had forwarded instructions from SCP to them.

That sucks.
I think the bar should be bend-side down…looks sideways.
I really think you need the washers. I would take it back.
I just wasnt even sure if that side needed washers. It looks like the fronts were atleast installed right and it feels better than the aftermarket garbage, but if there has to be washers there i will be going back
 
I believe the washers are there to keep the strut rod from pulling through the bushing if it should fail.
