There is a reason the manufacturer puts a torque spec on the bolts.
I would try to borrow one just to be safe and for peace of mind.

May I ask a stupid question: what is a sway bar and why would I need one?

The ones you get from Harbour Freight and similar stores are perfectly fine for shadetree mechanic types. I have 3 different ones (1/4", 3/8", and 1/2" drive) with varying torque capacities.

The instructions do tell you to use a torque wrench though I foget how much torque. Borrowed one from Advance Auto when I installed mine.
