Hey guys, I need the dimensions of this washer, part 51394-SM4-010, so I can go pick some up. I'm not paying $5 for a 10-cent washer, especially when I need four!

I thought the width of it does not matter, as turning the end nut adjusts caster. The giant washer is simply goes over the bushings and holds things. (thinking of a strut horizontally).
The nut does not adjust the caster. The nut is torqued onto the rod and clamps the outer large washer, the sleeve, the inner large washer, and the shim washer(s) against the shoulder on the radius rod, sandwiching the two bushings and cross member between them. Adding and removing shims is what adjusts the caster. Positive caster means the lower end of the spindle/knuckle is further forward than the top end - if you add two shims to each side, you will reduce the caster.
The shim washer is 0.135" (3.4 mm) thick, the rod is 0.472" (12 mm) diameter (so washer ID needs to be a little larger), the washer OD is 1.115" (28.4 mm).
