The OEM style end links are a long bolt that goes through the bushings at the bar as well as the bushings at the control arm and the nut is on the underside of the control arm. The nut should be torqued to 21-29 Nm or 15-21 lb/ft per the factory service manual.

The torsion bar is preloaded at ride height spec, not torque, the lock nut is torqued to +/-20'#.. Philip

You pulled a me. He's asking about sway bar end links, not torsion bars.
