What are the torque specs for the sway bar link and if I have to remove anything else what else do I need to tighten up with the torque specs? I marked everything with white out if I keep everything close and the steering wheel straight. what else can help me from having to do an alignment?

Hello,

Replacing the sway bar links can be done by only removing the wheel/tire.

If you are just replacing the sway bar link, you do not have to do alignment.

I have attached the replacement procedure with the torque specifications below.

Let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
