Torque to spec in bmr instructions

OK, this turned out to be more than I meant. It was more of a quip than an accusation at BMR which is why I made sure to put that it was user error in my original post.
That said, I did not use Loctite and the instructions do not call for it, nor do they say how tight to torque them to so I did not want to overtorque them:
Here is their install guide:
https://www.bmrsuspension.com/sitear...all/ELK016.pdf
Installation:
1.Lift front of vehicle and remove both wheels/tires.
2.Use an 18mm wrench to remove the nuts from the OE sway bar end links. If the entire shaft of the end link spins, use a 6mm wrench to hold the shaft from the end while loosening the nut.
3.Remove the OE end link.
4.Using the OE end link as a guide, adjust one of the BMR end links to the same length as shown in the image below. Once adjusted, tighten the jam nuts using two ¾ wrenches.
5.Install the BMR end link onto the vehicle. Tighten the nuts using a 19mm wrench. If the entire shaft
spins while tightening, use a 14mm wrench to hold the base of th
e shaft while tightening the nut.
6.With the jam nuts loose on the other end link, adjust it until the end link fits the mounting holes on the vehicle. Tighten the jam nuts.
7.Duplicate step 5 for this end link. NOTE: This is our recommended installation procedure and will setup the sway bar and end links neutrally, for information on pre-loading your sway bar please contact BMR Tech.
8.Grease all tie rods, re-install the wheels/tires and lower the vehicle.
