Energy Susp. torque settings??

I'm just curious if there are specific torque settings for the end link bushings and the sway bar bushings. I installed these last weekend and I'm hearing noises up there from time to time so I'm thinking that I might have over or under tightened those things things.

I greased the sway bar bushings but I did NOT grease the end link bushings.

That is the way to do it.
The sway bar bushings should be torqued to about 40 ft-lbs while the end links are only 15 ft-lbs.

Damn, maybe that's it. I torqued those end link bushings pretty good...maybe I overtorqued them. I'll check this weekend.
