Front sway bar PU bushings installation
Hi all,
I do have PU bushings installed in my front sway bar (69 BB). Are there any recommendations for fastening the nuts and bolts (torque, turns etc) for the PU bushing (I know there are for the rubber ones)?
Thanks!

I didn't do anything different for the poly (matter of fact I torqued them with just my calibrated arm and not a torque wrench). Have had no issues at all.
Disclosure: I have installed aftermarket swaybars and polyurethane bushings in probably 20 other cars I have owned over the years.

Hi GP,
15-20 lbs.ft seems pretty typical for sway bar links with rubber bushings.

Tighten the bolt until you can feel some drag on the steel sleeve, as you try to rotate it.
