Default How much torque for sway bar end links?

What is the recommended torque setting for sway bar end links? I thought i remembered people saying to tighten them just so that the bushings aren't compressed but snug? the spohn bars i got from lmperformance didnt come with instructions listing how tight to go. thanks in advance

On install university it says 16 ft. lbs. for sway bar end links and 18 ft. lbs. for the brackets that hold the D bushings.

The instructions i got with strano bars says until the endlink bushings bulge a little bit.

this is the more precise way of doing it. its hard to just state a # for something like this when there are so many different bushings used that will compress differently.

you dont want to over-tighten or under tighten them (obviously), just tighten until the bushings start bulging a little in the middle
