Sway bar torque
I know I asked for some torque value a couple of weeks ago, another thing I forgot to ask was should the rear suspension have the weight of the car off of it. Like the jack under the center lift point for the rear with the wheels just hanging off the ground and jack stands under the side lift points. Also I was never able to get 53 foot lbs on the end links the torgue wrecnch never clicked. Thanks for any help.

weight-on, weight -off does not matter, did you have a torqx wrench in the end of the link as you tighted it, with a torque wrench on it I bet you didn't, I just know some one's going to call me a hater for pointing that out

the newer vette's have a HEX end on the link so you can hold it with a wrench, the older, my 06 has a internal torx to hold it, I know there ain't much room, use blue thread locker and two wrench'es and get them tight! I would'nt worry about torque, IMHO
