Default stabilizer bar end links?
Does anyone know the torque specs when installing new end links?
Thanks fellow gear heads.

Tight, usually until the rubber bushings flare to the same size as the washer...Not that critical...

BTW, that's from the "official" US Army Torque scale:

One grunt, two grunts, or bust a nut.

Exactly what I thought. Squeeze 'em..
Thanks men.
Update; new sway bar bushings and end links + bushings made a noticeable difference in the front end. Feels tighter. Piece of cake to install.
