Removed it and cant remember how it went. The 2 thick washers go on each end of the bolt on the inner part correct? They dont seem to fit in. Do I need to press the end to squeeze together?

Only one thick washer goes on top of each inner toe link connection on the subframe.

I cant get the 1 washer in. Any advice? I line the tie rod up then try to push the washer in at top and it acts like there isnt enough room. But if I put just bolt in u can tell theres plenty of room.

By your sig I'm assuming you have a Terminator. The Terminator subframe had a taller inner toe link mount, hence the need for the thick washer on top.

Now unless someone swapped your IRS with one from a 1999, 2000 Cobra R or a 2001 Cobra you should have the taller inner mount that requires the washer. Is it possible the earlier model Terminators used left over subframes with the shorter inner mount? I have no clue to tell you the truth. If the inner mounts fits nicely without the thick washer then simply install it without the washer.
