Shock absorber upper attachment 10-15
Shock absorber upper bracket to body 8-16
Front suspension compression bumper to body 12-17
Brake backing plate to spindle 25-35
Upper arm and inner shaft to body 55-75
Spring seat to upper arm 17-25
Shock absorber to spring seat 12-17
Wheel lug nut 70-115
Wheel bearing adjusting nut 17-25 (1)
Ball joint to spindle 60-90 (2)
Strut to lower arm 55-70
Lower arm to underbody 35-50
Stabilizer bar mounting bracket to underbody 17-25
Strut to underbody 40-55
Stabilizer bar to lower arm 5-11

(1) Torque the adjusting nut to 17-25. locate the nut lock on the adjusting nut so the castellations are aligned with the cotter pin hole in spindle. then, back off the nut so the next castellation aligns with the cotter pin hole.

(2) Torque to specifications, then tighten the nut to the nearest cotter pin slot and insert the cotter pin.
