Got a sway bar the other day and I've just tightened it as much as I can. Is this alright or must the brackets and enlinks need to be torqued??

Anal practice is to always torque
39 Nm for the D brackets and 38Nm on the nut that holds the endlinks on (from the service manual)
Don't tighten as much as you canQuote:

Also , tighten on FLAT ground with suspension settled. So, either drive on Ramps - a
Hoist or jack up each corner to roughly what the suspension would compress at and tighten as to not preload the bar
Alright ill torque em. I thought the torque specs were 16ft-lbs for brackets and 20ft-lbs for end links
Sorry ijust looked at my own service manual thinking it'd be the same
Best look for yourself (Y)
all good
Anyone know the torque specs for ek4 sway bar
