2nd Gen 4Runner sway bar bushing replacement question - torque specs?

My OEM (1995 4runner 4wd) sway bar bushings are pretty well worn out, so I'm replacing them with some Energy Suspension bushings.

I've been searching for info on the various bolt/nut torque specs for specifically the front and rear sway bars. My Haynes book doesn't have them, searching the internet just returns all kinds of answers. Anyone know what they are or should I just do the old fashioned... tight then 1/4 turn?

Here you go, use the numbers all the way to the Left as NM specs.

Thank you! For the spec diagram. My book didn’t have the specs. I would have replied sooner but I was out camping with my other Toyota!
 
The FSM numbers are best, if you can find them. Otherwise, often a Haynes manual will have a table somewhere in the front pages of the book of typical torques for various bolt sizes. For non critical stuff like sway bar bushings, such a table is completely adequate, because it's very likely a similar table is what the engineers used in the first place. Typical torques for various bolt sizes are well known in the industry. Critical stuff like head bolts, suspension bolts, drive shaft bolts get special attention, but otherwise they use standard torques for most stuff.
