    Hi all,

    Anyone know the torque specs for the rear sway bar bushing bolts (where they bolt to the rear axle).

    Thanks in advance.

    Closest I could find was from this page that gets posted quite a bit:

    https://trail4runner.com/2020/06/17/5th-gen-4runner-torque-specs/

    That doesn't sound right (or feel right based on what it took to remove them). I ended up tightening them down "tight". If I ever find the correct number, I'll re-torque them.

    About 6k miles ago I had both my sway bars off. I've been off road for about 500 miles of that and they have not loosened up at all. Just a guess of course, but I'd say I got them about 75-85 ft lbs.

    What grade and size are the fasteners? Use that to determine what the torque could be.
