Do you really need a washer in between the body and the rubber on either side?

I have had similar knocking and it turned out to be the lower mounts that had loose nuts so - are the bottom bushes OK too? |

Mine gets in the way a bit, but only when it is up. If it is down it does not cause a problem. |
