Give Charlie Clark a call at KC Raceware. They install Spherical Bearings in cars all of the time and can tell you the numbers they use.

OE rubber bushings often have a torque spec that is based on the need to preload the bushing. Typically the OEM will also spec the ride height at which the bushings should be torqued. On my 5.0 Mustang the OE torque spec called for the car to be at normal ride height with the suspension under load.
With a spherical bearing you are tightening metal on metal so to me the determining factor would the the size and grade of the fastener.
Hope this helps

Marcus, spherical bushings ? If you mean Spherical bearings :P & you have one at each link end put a thin tube spacer of the correct length between each side of the bearing inner race & the mounting surface (two per bearing) & tighten untill your eyes look like :119:
