no i dont know the torque specs, just tighten them good by hand.

Just jack up the car in the rear, put it on some jack stands and you should be able to access them with no problem.

how about the front, any word about that? To me, it sounds like that's where its coming from, but I think its harder to access the front sway? Any info?

yeah its a little harder to get to, but still you should be able to tighten without taking off the wheels.

It's most likely the nut on the top of the strut tower. Sway bar arms shouldn't become unbolted, but yeah - i'd take off the front wheels and look down there. You should be able to see the sway bar without too much of a problem.

Well I just spent the past 2 hours out there analyzing the car from top to bottom and front the back. I jacked up everything and checked, rechecked, and checked again all of the bolts underneath having to do with the suspension, and all of the bolts having to do with the strut and strut bar under the hood. I then took it for a test drive, and the problem is still there, but I think I may have located it a little bit better.

The problem happens when i'm doing lets say 3K in 2nd gear for example and then I smack the gas hard and suddenly. When I do that, it happens EVERY time and it definitely is coming from the front driver side. It almost sounds like it is coming from underneath the gas pedal...any ideas?

I started a new thread for my issue b/c I completely threadjacked this one (sorry to whoever created it):
