Default Lower control are bolt torque?

Does any one know what the torque setting is on the bolt on the rear lower control arm that attaches the bushing bracket for the sway bar?

David farmer has all the torques on his web site. It's all on my other computer. I can get it later if nobody chimes in.

To be honest, forget the torque. If you don't want them to move, get a big breaker bar, sit on the floor and press the bar with you leg really hard.

Hey you're though, the longer breaker bar the better on the cams.
