I figured out the reason for the difference is that you bought new arms whereas I've pressed the old bushings out of my existing arms, who's holes must have expanded slightly over time.

I'm hoping I have better luck with the Meyle bushings I'm installing with (hopefully) no need to tack weld. One of the reasons I went this option over the aftermarket options was for the long service life after all.

Do you think the washers affect the range of motion or effectiveness of controlling toe?

I'm feeling optimistic that this could still be a good option for the toe arms, along with the trailing arms.

I'll report back the results & longevity.
In my case I also did not use brand new toe arms, I had a spare set of arms I worked on before fitting them. The washers shouldnt alter the range of motion, I actually found the performance of the custom toe arms was identical to the hardrace units I have in my car now.
