Torque for sway bar bolt

The DIY on this site indicates 65 Nm as the torque value for the bolt that threads into the front stabilizer bar, and holds the two bushings in the control arm.

I am looking at an image of the factory manual and it seems to say 85 Nm (though the language used to describe the various front end bolts is a bit arcane, so maybe I am looking at the wrong entry).

Can anyone please clarify for me? Thanks

Although you don't say - I'm guessing this is W123 based.

My version of chapter 32-300 says

Bolt that goes into the end of the front anti-roll bar that clamps the two bushings on to the upper control arm (UCA) = 65 Nm

The nuts that hold the bar to the bulkhead are 20 Nm


Does that help?
