I replaced my sway bar bushings with poly bushings, and lower ball joint LH, I have a few questions that the bently manual doesn't mention.

1. How do you tighten the nut on the ball joint that connects it to the lower strut plate. I had to use a pair of channel locks and was very nervous about tearing the boot. I couldn't do the right side because of rain.
I talked to a friend and he said they usually have a allen slot to hold the shaft, mine doesn't.

2. How tight do you tighten the nut at the end of the sway bar. (Sorry I don't know the name of it) I thinks its called the connecting rod. It connects the swaybar to the A arm. I think I may have it to tight.

Thanks in advance.
