It looks like that's not necessary in your case? I will follow your method then. Getting ready to do my bushing. Thanks.
I think washers would work fine, if the stack up fits tightly.
My belief is that if there is any gap between the washer stack and the subframe halfs, then there is a possibility of deflection.
Not that deflection keeps it from ultimately working, just that more force will required.

I used a 4"ish long aluminum bar.
If I remember correctly, the bar started life as 1" x 1" square, and I removed something like an 1/8" from one side to get a tight fit.
