Default Torque Settings

I'm getting ready to replace the sway bar bushings but need to know the torque settings for the brackets.
Anyone?

Thanks

I guess so, because the instructions say "1997 - Current" and include the C6 stats.

NO! Front only.
The upper rear clamp bolt spec is 49 ft lb (Use anti seize)
The lower rear clamp nut spec is 70 ft lb

Interestingly enough the online manual has the front clamp bolts torqued to 43 ft lbs. But 41 or 43 isn't going to make much difference.
