for the record, you can probably use flat fender washers and just buy 2 new spring washers (one for each side, to go on after you stack some fender washers). since i believe the way the spring washer works is that it provides tension against the nut to keep the nut from getting loose. stacking 3 spring washers on top probably keeps this from happening.
problem is finding a fender washer with an inside diameter big enough to fit over the axle, and outside diameter small enough to fit into the hole for the hub though. i'm taking apart mine tonight to see if i can find fender washers at grainger that will fit before i order 2 more spring washers. not like the car is going anywhere anyway...its been raining for a week or two now
