Rear lower link torque specification

I was wondering if anyone with the Helms Manual can tell me what the specs are on these two bolts. (well one in the photo and the other is at the other end of the link). Installing a new anti-sway bar and wasn't sure exactly what these should be torqued to. Also, not as important, what the endlink for the sway bar should be torqued to (the part that attaches to the bar itself) thank you in advance. Gotta love having the day off, time to get projects done.

civichbdx - Very Helpful.

Seriously the metal there isn't the thickest of mouting points so I don't want to wind up over tightening it, and possibly deforming the metal. So if anyone can provide a more exact answer I'd really appreciate it.

I have the 7th-gen Accord manual as well as the 1st gen TSX manual, and both specify 43 ft-lbs for rear suspension arm bolts. That's what I would use.

If you wanted to be 100% sure, there is an option to purchase 24-hour access to the Helm manual online. It's around $10 I think. Search around and I'm sure you'll find it.

Enjoy, and happy holidays.

Sorry, forgot to add 28 ft-lbs for the stabilizer link nut.

Thanks a TON. Got it back together and went for a drive and I am wondering why I didn't do this sooner! Plus I do think that with just a washer if you wanted to put the factory bar back on you could. YOu really don't elarge the holes that much to put the Progress bar on. Great bang for the buck. And happy holidays to you too!
