Default Swaybar Torque

I'm looking for torque settings for the C6 swaybar endlinks and bushing clamps bolts... and since you're looking those up , could you tell me if the caliper/caliper bracket bolt is torqued to 125 ft/lbs(!?!?!?)

Thanks in advance

I'm not home so I can't look up the sway bar ones now, but yes 125lb-ft is correct for the caliper bracket bolts.

I thought the calipers were some outragous number. Hope to hear from you later regarding the swaybars. Got the ride on jacks awaiting a test drive

manual says...
sway bar end links: 53 lb-ft
sway bar insulator clamp bolt: 49 lb-ft
sway bar insulator clamp nut: 70 lb-ft
lower control arm rear cam nut: 70 lb-ft

Aren't the last 2 the same thing? This is what the torque list says, and the instructions for sway bar installation just say "Install the stabilizer shaft insulator clamps to the stabilizer shaft and the crossmember." Then to tighten to above specs. Maybe it makes sence when you're looking at it.

As for the brakes, caliper guide pin bolts: 23 lb-ft
