See attached from WIS for GL550. Torque specs are on the last pages. Hope that helps

The attached shows WIS for Active Curve and does not include torque specs for base stabilizer bar non-Active Curve. It’s reasonable to assume torque in the stabilizer bar and therefore force on the stabilizer link and therefore torque in the link fasteners will be higher for Active Curve than they are for base stabilizer bar.

It would risk stripping the fastener threads to torque a base link using Active Curve torque specs. I don’t have the base torque spec at hand, hopefully someone can post it.

Sorry, that was not clear whether you had active curve or not.

WIS only shows with Active Curve unless I'm not looking in the right spot. Tried both ML and GL 350, 450, 550 but all had only with Active Curve

Need to enter into WIS a VIN from a base model. Because the WIS posted to this thread specifies Active Curve, and not all models, there must be another WIS document for non-active curve.
