I was putting back my differential and I was wondering how tight should the bolts be(axles, driveshaft, bolts to subframe)? I figured i just tighten them as hard as I can but just want some peace of mind. I don't even have a torque wrench so blah. hahah

output shaft to axle bolts (12) : 25-33 lb ftRear subframe nuts (4) : 32-41 lb ftfront subframe bolts (2) : 72-87 lb ft.

When I swapped mine out, I just tightened as much as I could for the big two bolts, the others I did by feeling as well, but they weren't as tight.
