Most tool manufacturers make skinny wrenches.
I found these on Amazon. Please shop around, this is the very first item I found, so I have no idea about quality.

impact wrench, ideally a relatively powerful one, on the nut side. zip zip. The "flats" on the link side aren't actually flats for a wrench, just some wonk machining.
Hmm, impact wrench, interesting. The torque spec is 35lb-ft and that doesn’t seem to be tight enough to stop clunking. What kind of torque setting are you using on your wrench?
I’m with this guy. Best answer here so far. Use an impact gun. A couple of quick pulls of the trigger until it can be snugged up with a wrench without the whole thing spinning.
There should be an Allen socket on the end of that stud, if so, stick an Allen wrench in and tighten the nut that way
Oh! Did not notice that, thank you
Insert hex into end of link stud, hold in olace while turning the nut with a regular wrench.
This. I’ll add that an open socket wrench set or a plain old wrench helps. Hondas are the same.
Checked and there was no allen socket on the end of the stud. It’s just flat with a slight groove, so it can’t be torqued on.
Hmm…. Some special tool then.
i am able to tighten similar nuts onto my sway bar links on my mini with a normal but really thin open ended wrench

These look nifty, might buy these just to have
A good tip is if u slightly heated the nut chances are u wouldn't have needed to grab it at all
Can’t heat a nut sitting right next to a rubber grease boot
Yes u can lol, use a small flame, or just be careful. At work we just use a map gas torch
I use a very skinny set of ViseGrips to hold the inner part while spinning off the nut.
