Front swaybar M8 clamp bolt proper torque? 22 + 50 degrees or then to 37?
Redid my front AFE bar with new bolts. The manual says 22 ft, 50 degrees, then ensure all bolts are 37 ft min. It's odd to me to have an angle spec followed by a torque. 22 + 50 degrees wasn't anywhere near 37. Torqued it all to 35 a few times, bolts stretched a little each time, and quit. The specs sheet at the front of the section says 22 ft then 50 degrees, makes no mention of then going to 37! Which is correct?

Yeah, I know why you ask, but unless someone tells you otherwise I'd recommend going with the table info above, not the confusing Manual graphic representation.

Ttt... any consensus? Thinking of buying another set of bolts and doing 22 + 50 degrees only. After the track weekend coming up of course

Ttt... if you've swapped bars what did you torque the fronts to?
