Tighten the bushing mounts to 16 ft. lbs. (22 Nm).

On models with strut mounted links, install the stabilizer bar links and torque the nuts to 43 ft. lbs. (59 Nm) with the wrench flats parallel to the edges of the bar.

On models with control arm mounted links, tighten the link-to-control arm locknut to 30 ft. lbs. (42 Nm).
