Your write up was excellent and very helpful on my install. HOWEVER,
THE TORQUE SPECS LISTED ARE NOT FOR A 2006 LIBERTY KJ. I snapped the sway bar link lower bolt because I followed those specs. It was my fault, especially since I have a full set of Chrysler-Daimler 2006 Liberty service manuals. I've attached the specs for a '06 KJ front suspension.
SUSPENSION TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS FOR 2006 JEEP LIBERTY KJ.
(The following information is out of the official Daimler-Chrysler Corp. Jeep service manual, volume 1)
FRONT
WARNING: Suspension components with rubber bushings must be tightened with the vehicle at normal ride height. It is important to have the springs supporting the weight of the vehicle when the fasteners are torqued. If springs are not at their normal ride position, vehicle ride comfort will be affected and cause premature bushing wear.
