Default Rear shock install help ASAP!!!

Have the passenger side rear shock off. Replacing stock w/ set of Koni STR.T shocks and struts all around. Question is about the bushing and old nut and washer (lack of better term). What do I reuse, if anything? I'm not sure if the old nut comes off of the washer that compresses the bushing. Need some guidance. I can post pictures if this isn't making sense.

Thanks

Do you realize the F'n point of a forum is for people to ask questions when they come to a problem. And a Haynes manual will say NOTHING about installing aftermarket shocks or struts. so thanks for playing
OP Yes sometimes you have to reuse the the top bushing and bolt.

Thanks BraMas. I ended up reusing the original bushings/isolators and washer. I had to cut the nut from the washer. I went to auto part store looking for some sort of "kit" but to no avail. It looked like some of the shocks come with replacement isolators/washers but the Koni did not. I'm curious if other brands come with these replacement parts.
