Sway Bar End Link.. Im pretty sure..not sure of the torque spec though.. I always snug it til the rubber/urethane starts to press out a little and stop.

Like said above tighten until the rubber starts to smash. No torque spec for it.

It's the front stabilizer bar* link, 14 lb-ft...

------------------------
* -often incorrectly referred to as a sway or anti-sway bar, it is more properly an anti-roll, or stabilizer bar as most automotive engineers refer to it. Sway is motion along a vertical axis--flag poles, trees, and tall buildings sway--automobiles roll, which is motion about a longitudinal axis...

Torque spec for almost anything on a car= tight. Just use common sense. Don't tighten it till it snaps, and don't not tighten it that it's loose.
