Z51 Swaybar Upgrade

Replacing front and rear swaybars with the upgraded Z51 swaybars on an 09 base C6. What are the recommended torque values (if any) for the end link bolt/nut connection?

There's a couple lists of torque specs in the Sticky/FAQ section of C6 Gen.

IIRC it's 52/53 ft-lbs.

seriously, if you can't contribute, don't answer or reply. Sorry you have to deal with the rudeness.

anyway, to answer your question: tight, but not too tight or the bolt will break. Hope this helps.
