Bilstein strut install question

They came with two brass washers. So where does it install. Does it go in on top of bearing, below bearing, below strut cover.

Thanx

Got a pic? I would guess one on top and one on the bottom.

There was one brass washer/spacer per strut. I'll see about getting a pic.

If it's one per strut, I'd guess one on top right under the rod nut. My KYBs didn't come with any.

Yes, it goes right on top between the bearing and the nut. My Bilsteins and KYBs both came with washers.
