Not sure if the instructions are at their clearest regarding this point.

The 2mm washer that is suggested to fit under the ball stud on the spindle (at the wheel end) is only required when using the flat shim under the kick plate.
When using the tapered shim as the instructions suggest, remove the 2mm washer and you'll find that the bump steer has gone.

The tapered wedge effectively raises the spindle as a by product of reducing the kick up.

You'll probably find that you will need different thicknesses of washers if you start to play with the option caster blocks also.
