I put plenty of grease around the metal washer to pack out the bearing in the top mount as I found you get play and a knocking sound when driving, the washer is meant to be a crush washer but I've never managed to crush it with using hand tools….. O_o

The center bush may need to be filed down a wee bit as it may be too tall.  

Then be sure that you clean out your spring seat and the weep hole that allows water to drain.
