Need torque spec: front control

[michelangelo]

2004 Nissan Quest.

Just replaced the front right-lower control arm. Need specs for torqueing the bolts. Thanks if you can help!

Did some searching and found line a guy who showed how to replace the A-arm he indicated torque values as follows:


107 ft/lbs for the two bolts holding the inner rear bolts (if seated in vehicle looking forward).

73 ft/lbs for the one inner front bolt.

56 ft/lbs for the outside bolt that holds the ball joint post into the bearing assembly.

Can someone confirm these?

watch that youtube video to confirm

PS: make sure the ball joint is seated fully before torquing that nut/bolt down as seen on that vid
