I'm swapping in 1LE front and rear sway bars in to my 2016 SS. I've searched and find data ranging all over the place.

Can someone please confirm the sway bar mount nut torque? And the end link nut torque? I've ordered the Nord-Lock washers for the front end links. Anything else needed?

exactly what I don't want to happen. I've read several threads, but no clear mention of what the torque specs are. Best I could determine is 16 and 35

Was hoping someone could verify.

Ouch
They broke over tightening or breaking the bolt loose ?

On initial install of my upgraded sways, one of the mounting studs for the front bar snapped off at less than 16 lb-ft. It sheared off flush and I had to drill it out. Fortunately I had a 10mm bolt of perfect length and greater strength that dropped right in. I was using a good Craftsman torque wrench so go easy when installing these!
