Default Ack! Sway bar almost fell off...

So can anyone tell me the torque of the upper sway bar connects?

After putting on a BB I drove around centering the steering wheel and leaned like mad. I checked everything and noticed one side was about to lose a nut. Other side wasn't as bad.

I would ike to torque them correctly if there is a spec. Otherwise I will crank the hell outta them

Thanks!

Funny you mention it but that happened to me yesterday. My top nut fell out and was gone. Stopped by the dealer and got another one. I put some locktite in it and cranked her down. I checked the pass. side and it was tight. Also I have the 2.5" tera BB, I got an earlier order and they didn't come with the longer links.
