I received the 7/8" ADDCO front-anti-roll bar to replace my bent one.  The 
instructions say to "tighten the end-link nut until the bushings just begin to 
bulge".  Since I've always been of the "torque till stripped--then back off a 
quarter-turn" school I'm wondering if anyone has a recommended torque setting?  


BTW, the bar and links were described to me as being gold-anodized which I 
was prepared to paint out. In actuality the finish more closely resembles the  
"bright plating" originally used on some of the suspension hardware.  As a 
point of information, what was the original finish on sway-bars and links?
