If the manual drawing isn't close enough, then this is from underneath my car. Conventionally you have....
1. Rubber mounting on chassis with thick rubber section pointing inwards.
2. On my car I had two large diameter washers per mounting, one is inside the chassis and the other was outside, in direct contact with the rubber mounting. This is in case the steel insert in the rubber bush disbonds, the large washer stops the radius arm separating from the chassis or letting the arm toe-out too badly. Stops catastrophic failure in other words.
3. Originally I had smaller diameter adjustment shim washers between the radius arm and the outer large washer, pushing the leading edge of the radius arm away from the chassis. The procedure is to assemble everything, measure and then slide out the bolt to insert shim washers.
The manual shows the bolt going in the opposite direction to my photo. The reason mine's the other way is because the space between the body & chassis is tight with the number of spacers (& hence bolt length) that I needed. It is also simpler to slide the bolt inwards towards the chassis spine than it is to pull the arm & bolt the other way when inserting shims.
The photo shows my current arrangement which uses shims between the rubber mounting flange and the chassis. This is similar to the Esprit and personally I find it's easier to adjust the rear toe with this type of shim because you only have to slacken off the mounting bolts and slide in the shims. Once you've got the adjustment in spec I took out the shims, measured and made a single one out of Al plate.
