The bottom shock bolt and nut gave me some problems - and the inner/little boot clamp didn't bite enough and was loose - it must have been set-up on the wrong notch. I busted it trying to reuse it. I ended-up using a stainless-steel zip-tie type thing. I think it'll be fine.

One extra-part. I assume this is supposed to be under the new axle nut? - (but it didn't seem to fit right) It was just a bit too tight for the splined shaft. I don't recall one being under there in the first-place.

I did a cv joint boot replacement on my old Audi and a similar concave/convex washer was located on the axle after the boot was fitted and before the cv joint was installed back on the axle shaft.

Here's a link to the boot replacement for an Audi and on 7:30 you can see the installation of the washer.
