End Link torque specs
I noticed how the specs call for 16 ft-lbs...But unfortunately I did not have my torque wrench with me last night when i was putting my new sway bar on the rear.
Is it that critical? I just tightened them down good and made sure they were pretty even on both sides.

There's not really a torque spec.
They should be tightened until the bushing deforms to the same OD as the washers; no tighter.

The threds on the bolt are only 1-2inches long (if you have GM nuts and bolts) the nut will bottom out on the bolt.. just tighten till the nut stops
