Noise from RD sway bar fixed!



Recently I was complaining about the clunking noise
from the sway bar endlinks. I torqued the  rear sway bar
endlink bolt to 40 ft.lbs. I was able to get more
leverage from the longer handle of the torque
wrench versus the 3/8 " socket wrench. Space was 
tight under the car. Also got rid of the occasional front end
clunk by torquing down the bolts to 70 ft.lbs. on both
 ends, the bar and strut attachment ends.
Hopefully they won't loosen up , but I'll know what
to do if the noise returns. The anti-sieze compound
worked great to loosen up the endlink "heim" joints.
