Greetings Audi-philes

Could somebody please tell me where the "damping ring" near the top of
the strut assembly goes? My Haynes manual shows the part and mentions
that it should dusted with talcum powder before installation (to prevent
heat rash as well as offensive odors I suppose), but there's no
indication of whether it goes under the body with the strut bearing, or
above the body under the dished flange/washer below the locking nut.
