We are installing a front set of struts on a 2005 Saturn Vue. We recommend using Sensen brand of struts which are available at www.apxautoparts.com.

That's not a 2005 Saturn Vue, that design is from 2008 – 2009 untill the Chevy Captiva start using the same design in 2012.
My 2006 Saturn vue has a washer that is used when assembling the strut. I have installed it both ways and the bearing always seems to fail. . Does it get installed on top of the mount under the nut or under the mount on the strut shaft?
