correct location of rubber washer in Bilstein strut insert

Hi All ,

Doing a front supension refresh on a 1986 911 carrera Targa 3.2

I bought fresh Bilstein ( 0319P36 0114H2) inserts for my stock BOGE front struts.

When I opened the Bilstein packages the had a rubber washer below the dust shield on one insert and above the dust shield on the other insert?

I called Bilsein direct and their tech support is down temporarily due to Covid-19.

There is a pic showing the two orientations....Does anybody know which is correct? I am ready to install these today.

Thanks

It's sole purpose is to keep the upper dust sleeve in place when in the package.

Many thanks!

I’ll remove the rubber washer completely and install the struts.

Thanks again,
Al
