Do I tighten endlinks all the way?

![Question](https://www.camaroz28.com/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
I put in a BMR rear sway bar a couple days ago and tightened the endlinks til they couldn't tighten anymore, is this the way I'm supposed to do it or what? BMR doesn't have any instructions on their site for the regular sway bars and I searched on here with no luck. I found a page with the install on it but he said something about it naturally wanting to stop then torque them to 17 lbs or something like that and I just did it until they did in fact stop so I dunno if I did it right.

You don't want to distort the bushings. Just bring them down snug until the bushing just starts to bulge on the sides.

17 - 25 ft-lbs is a fairly low torque value; this guy was tightening the endlinks until they wouldn't tighten anymore. I can easily produce 50 ft-lbs of torque with a 3/8" ratchet
