Hey Fella's, Does anyone know what the torq spec is for the Swaybar Link Nut & Bolt that goes through the Hub which secures the bottom of the rear Strut to the Wheel hub...pictured below VVV

I replaced my struts and springs awhile back and have this rattle coming from the rear struts that im hunting down now that i have time.

Whoo Hoo, Attachments work BTW!

You can remove the sway bar from wheel carrier w/o and special tools correct?

Just unbolt the nut,loosen the sway bar bushings and then you should be able to remove the sway bar drop link from the carrier correct?

blinkwatt,
That's the way it should come apart. I just replaced my rear drop links and it was a royal pain since the bolt was frozen to the wheel carrier. I had to cut off the drop link and use plenty of heat and pound it out with a 2 lb hammer while a friend turned the other end. It wouldn't even turn at first. The bolt threads were filled with aluminum/corrosion.
It probably took several hours total.
The fronts are the same way.
