SPF GT 40 MK II sway bar torque specs

[Mark Coulter]

Reinstalling the front sway bar how tight do you get the rod ends--i would think just get the slack out and thats it--but i have never worked on one of these before.

Personally, I would take it to the torque spec of the fastener. Making sure you’re not collapsing the clevis, of course.

THANKS that helps alot. So make it tight with no play but yes dont bend or collapse anything-makes sense

One end shares the bolt with the shock, the other one is the end of the Swaybar. In worst case these could be similar to grade 8.8 fasteners. So i would use torque for a grade 8.8 fasteners in that thread dim, add Loctite if you are afraid they will go loose.
