Hello,

Does someone have a good list of suspension torque specs without the torque plus degrees they could share here? I have a found a couple of conflicting charts mostly with the rear seeming low.

TIA

Each flat on the bolt head or nut is 60 degrees. You can guestimate from there or get a degree adapter for your TQ wrench.

Yeah, because it so awkward maneuvering around under there I am hoping to find the number and just listen for the click.

I found these, but the rear control arm specs seems low at 90 where the one in degrees on this site mentions starting at 100.

I believe the lower chart has 3 columns per item
Newton Meters, Foot Pounds, then inch pounds (if applicable)

Okay, that's good news! I used the upper chart for everything but was second guessing it.
