Sway bar bushing torque?
i just put in some new Energy sway bar bushings and end link bushings. How tight should the end link bushings be tightened. I used a 9V Makita and just set them so they were tight with a slight compression on grommets.

There is a kind of shoulder on the end link bolt, that the nut will tighten down to and stop. Should take around 25 ft-lbs or so once you reach the stop. The bushings will usually distort (squish) quite visibly.

Ok your refering to the spacer, so I just go ahead and tighten it up against that. I think I am real close now. Did not want to overtighten it last night I will double check tonight. Thanks!
