Default Installing Heim-Type Endlinks

I have Function7 LCA's and I'm installing some Function7 Heim joint endlinks today. I was wondering if i should use spacers (washers) like shown in this pic (from the georgelb write up). Or can I just use the endlink and the supplied nut?

I used nylon washers, on the backside, where the link met the lca - significantly reduced knocking w/ my function7 pieces.
(but thats all)

so basically just to remove and noise that can be caused from the links? I think i'll clear up what i'm asking:

Can the links be crooked..? or should they be straight (vertical) to the swaybar.

I think he just hadn't tightened his down yet, they should definately be straight.

i know they're not straight in the picture cause the car was up in the air... i'm asking if it matters if they're at like a 30 degree angle when the car is down due to there not being spacers

i would space it out just enough to clear the recesse of the LCA then enough so that it doesn't touch the LCA through the full range of motion of the suspension, then your good.
