Default RS swaybar torque spec

HI all,

I am looking for the "correct" torque spec for the sway bar. For some reason the front one keeps on coming loose.

Thank you,

Sandro

Happens, try a lock washer ... should do the trick.
That's why cars NEED to be nutted and bolted after each event.
Go check your tail lights, they are probably falling.... your frunk is touching the plastic, and scratching it, your engine lid is touching the bumper ... and this is just the beginning.

All good points. I will try some of recommended above first. It has been a long time, car has been seating in the garage for a couple of months.

go take your avatar pix again. you need to turn on the lights to show length of the box. it looks like a 18' baby trailer.

Get rid of those walls and the picture will be brighter and you will get better gas mileage.

Nice trailer though.
