Rear Sway Bolt Torque Spec?

[greene08]

I'm finally installing the RS4 Rear Sway tonight and was curious if anyone knows the specific bolt torque specifications called out by Audi for the sway bar bolts?

On another note I found a couple European spec sway bar brackets that seem to fit the larger bushings and bar much better than the stock units everyone complains about. If they truly work I will post the part numbers and take pictures.

Thanks!

The reason why people complain about the stock units is because they try to use the stock clip/bracket that comes with the car meant for the smaller sway with the larger sway.

This is easily remedied by simply buying the bracket that is meant for the 22mm sway which cost about $8-$13 per bracket.

The part # for the larger bracket is listed in the FAQ thread.

Yeah I realize that, the only problem is that people have stated that the number listed provides you a part that is the same size as the stock unit. Hard to believe for me but I didn't care to take the chance. What I found works great.

I still need the torque specs please!
