Could be. Could also be poor fitment from the factory. I've had to shim stuff like that to make everything work properly.
I'd recommend machinery bushings instead of washers. They are not too costly, and they're available in several widths and thicknesses. Should be available at Fastenal. Glad to hear that Fastenal had the 14mm bolt size available.
