1990 GT Vert (Manual). Here's picture before I got the PITA lower arm to break free.

Ready to to put her front end back together. I went as far as rack bushings so want to make sure I have my torque specs right or if I'm missing anything. It's my understanding that no lock tight is required/suggested for these items but anti-sieze is recommended. Also, after packing bearings I was going to leave a light film of grease of spindle and not pack it completely.

Rack to Frame (100 ft lbs)
Pinch Bolt on Shaft (25 ft lbs)
Sway Bar Bracket (35 - 50 ft lbs)
A-Arms to Crossmember (110 150 ft lbs)
Inner Tie Rods to Rack (Flush - One at a time)
Spindle to Ball Joint (80 - 120 ft lbs)
Spindle to Outer Tie Rod (35 - 50 ft lbs, Jam nut same)
Spindle to Strut (150 - 200 ft lbs)
Spindle to End Links (5 - 20 ft lbs)
Top Strut to Plate (60 - 90 ft lbs)
Dust Cover (10 - 15 ft lbs)
Bearing Adjustment Nut (Seating while rotating: 15 - 20 ft lbs, Back Off then Final: 15 - 25 inch lbs)
Brake Caliper to Banjo Fitting (20 - 30 ft lbs)
Brake Caliper to Spindle (45 - 65 ft lbs)
Lug Nuts (85 - 105 ft lbs)

Camber's I'll eye ball and get her to alignment shop first thing. Thoughts? We looking good? Safe?

Thanks everyone.
