Torque Specs on Sway Install

OK, so Jose and I installed my Strano sway bar last weekend. In doing so, I think we may have over-torqued the frame mount bolts and/or under-greased the bushings, but either way it is making TONS of squeaking noise. So, my two questions:

1. What is an excellent grease to use so that when I re-grease it I will never hear it again?

2. What is the torque spec for those bolts (frame mounts)?

By the way, the bar feels amazing, despite its awful noise.

I mostly need the torque spec above everything else. Im using the grease supplied with Whiteline sways since that's what I have on my LGT.

I don't have this problem on my LGT, but it certainly is a problem in Nick's car.

It wasn't there at first but after a few miles of driving it showed up and now its downright annoying according to Nick.

torque specs

For their bars, Cobb rcommends the both the endlinks and mounts be torqued to 30 ft/lbs.

F the grease n use teflon tape. Lasts for years, silent operation, lubricates perfectly and doesn't need regreasing. Still amazed at folks "greasing their bars." Hahaha. :lol:
I didn't even know the option existed!
