REuse the washers as the cupping is needed to fit in between the welds.

Actually while my mind was on it, I started digging around for the bolt
and found the following listing at NAPA:

    https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/NCP2643620?impressionRank=21

Looks like the right thing--even with the raised edges on the cam
washer. The part that worries me though is that there are no markings on
the head of the bolt to indicate that it is grade 8. I seem to recall
that no markings is grade 2. Could the bolt actually be grade 2? Seems
like it would shear pretty quickly in a suspension application.

Anyone have any knowledge about this NAPA part?

Automotive bolts are grade 5 by nature. They go up from there.
