I can't find any torque specs in Chilton's. How tight should I tighten the endlinks? They are new polygraphite, if that matters.

 

German torque - "good-n-tight". It feels like you can tighten them forever cuz you're squishing rubber, basically, but just get them on there good and tight.

I've read (here) a couple times that you should tighten them until the bushings are squashed to the same diameter as the washers.

 

I guess thunderstick and Belker missed that they were polygraphite bushings!

For those, just tighten until you take all the moving slack out of the endlink. If you can still spin the bushing, it's still too loose. Just to where they don't move, then take it for a drive, many twists, even slow speed will do if you really exercise the sway bars. Then tighten them back up because they seated into the bushing cups.
