[QUOTE="blert, post: 1040947, member: 64702"] What I have found so far... The sway bar links were loose AF. I mean I could literally jiggle them. The right(pasenger) was worse than the left(driver). Found torque specs at about 15-21 lbs/ft online. Tried setting that but they just kept on tightening. Found Moog instructions that said to tighten until the bushings squish and then back off 1/4 turn. Did that. Now they don't rattle around anymore. Should I have kept going with the torque wrench? The shock seems to be fine. I could only get the nut about halfway up the post before the corrosion stopped the process. It pushed down fairly easily but I did have to use both hands (I'm just a small fellow though). It popped right back up. Can't test drive yet as I can't get the shock tightened back up because I don't have a thin enough wrench to hold the shock and the flats at the top of the bolt post are no good. Gotta wait until my neighbor gets home to see if he has a wrench that will work. [/QUOTE]
