Yes from factory they use a spring washer. I normally keep the spring washer and use a drop of blue loctite as well. If that bolt falls out it can do a lot of damage. Make sure you tighten it to correct specs.

I started using metric, what I call "wavey" washers in place of spring washers years ago. I like them because the do not dig in to what is being fastened, yet provide a secure coupling.

I think i prefer a spring washer that digs in to be sure it doesn't come loose
