Yes, the dish shaped washer. This rear and the dwgs i looked at show just the one and they refer to it as a 'thrust washer'.
Are you infering that the thrust washer should not have been able to come out after pin removal? Like there is too much 'freeplay' in the spidergear assembly?
I informed the owner of what happened and asked if there were drivability problems and i have yet to hear back from him.
I'm asking because i don't know street rears and if there is a problem with this one we need to be aware of it so's the owner can make a judgement decision.
Thanks, oj

Nah,not infering it should not have come out. It's real easy for them to come out if you turn the axles or such with the pin out of it.
