When rebuilding strut what order do parts go back on? Spring cushion, spring, upper sping cushion, washer?, top plate, top mount?
The question is where does the washer go before plate goes on or after?

There is a flat washer that fits on top of the upper spring support plate. On top of the flat washer is a cupped, flat washer, facing upwards, that provides dirt protection for the top mount bearing.
Next comes the top mount itself, a smaller flat washer, and finally the nut that holds it all together.
