^^ It's interesting that that drag link, while adjustable, is not infinitely adjustable. It can only be adjusted to the nearest thread pitch, which is, admittedly, perfectly adequate in that situation.

It is also interesting (to me at least) that the ball joints have a full ball. the ones I have cut apart have a big hemisphere on the taper stud side and a smaller hemisphere on the closed side.

Yes I'm an engineering nerd.

Sorry I can't answer about the washers without seeing the parts. The aim is to seal the joint so it should be obvious if the parts are correct.
