I think there must be some misunderstanding. I'm just trying to figure this out. The majority of how I learn new things is visual, and I don't have that here. I'm forced to picture in my head what you've already done, and there's bound to be differences between my perception of what needs to be done, and what's actually being done.
I appreciate how frustrating that must be for you to deal with trying to relay the information. You think you're being clear, and when I ask clarifying points because of how unsure /I/ am, you try again - even though I must be frustrating the heck out of you.
It's been very helpful to me. I appreciate that, and I appreciate you!
Hopefully one last clarifying piece - you keep mentioning "washers" but, what kind? Fender (the one with large surface area, but hole big enough for the bolt), or a standard washer (just slightly larger than the bolt itself, but enough surface area to increase mating strength by a lot) ?

That's for the rear toe link of a 1988 Fiero.
The rear inner tie rod end discussion only applies to 1984-1987 cars.

That I knew, but this part appears on Rock Auto under '86.
I'd never seen it before on mine, so I thought maybe it was an aftermarket thing like the alignment bolts for the struts.

Catalog error... see them all over the place in rare/weird applications.

After you verified that these were for the '88 I figured that was the case.
I bought a brake caliper for my 2011 Kia Sedona from RA. When I got it I could immediately see that something was wrong. The bracket was completely wrong.
Good news was that the caliper itself was identical to the one on the van, even though the bracket was different. So, I just swapped the caliper, and returned the old caliper and new (rebuilt) bracket for core.
After some research on the part numbers embossed on the parts, the caliper crosses to a bunch of different vehicles, but the bracket was for a 2012 model.
I let RA know, they said they'd pass it to the catalog team, IDK if they ever did anything about it
