This is a question about the front sway bar bushes.  They squeak like blazes and need to get some rubber grease in there to help the bar move easily.

 

Could anyone please help with the torque setting for the three bolts that secure the "boomerang" plate and also the pivot bolt that holds the inner link on the tie bar?  I think I might have to undo this pivot bolt about one turn so that I can rotate the boomerang plate to gain access to the sway bar bush holder.  

 

Thanks for reading.

It's OK  as I think I have the info.  There are three bolt size.  The settings should be as follows: 

 

10mm bolts that hold the "boomerang" plate and sway bar bush - 48 ft.lbs

12mm bolt that holds the opposite end of the "boomerang" plate - 74 ft.lbs.

14mm bolt on which the "boomerang" plate can pivot - 118 ft.lbs

 

I have found these descriptions and settings hard to understand from various print outs.  Like another poster who refers to Toyota manuals where the setting is given on a diagram which shows the part.

There's a torque value book available from : "The Knowledge Group"... http://www.theknowledgegruppe.com/index.php/product/996-torque-book-fastening-specifications-for-porsche-911-type-996-automobile/ While it's not inexpensive, It's got just about every single torque value for every fastener in the entire car listed by section (i.e. engine, fuel, brakes, front suspension, rear suspension, body, etc.). In other words, it's worth it's weight in gold - I use it just about every time I work on the car.
