Swaybar link torque specs

[06PT]

As I've stated in Front end link bushing replacement? AND Sway bars worth it?

I have a problem with my swaybar linkage breaking. This is the 4th time (passenger side 1 and drivers side 3). I have zero confidence in the dealership that has done the repairs. Couple that with the last time was a fight to get them to back their work I'm going to do this myself and hope for better results.

I have a '06 base model PT with the stock front swaybar. My 2 questions are:

1) Does anybody else have this problem?

2) Can a mechanic tell me what the torque specs are for the linkage?

I called Napa and the parts should only cost about $35-37 for the repair kit and bushings but I have to measure the swaybar size, he said it'll either be a 24mm or 26mm.

Thanks.

I have a 2001 PT with the same problem. Twice now. I too will do the work this time hoping for better results. What are the torque specs.?

In the repair manual there's nothing for "swaybar" but they do have the Torque for the "Stabilizer Bar".

Clamp Bolts = 21 Ft-lbs, 28 Nm
Link Nuts = 21 Ft-lbs, 28 Nm
