I'm trying to find the torque specs for a 2011 Leaf. Specifically to replace the control arms. The shop manual on this site doesn't seem to list torque numbers. Am I missing something? Any recommendations where to find torque numbers?

Torque specs are always in the exploded drawings. FSU-17 shows the specs for the control arm bushing bolts:

The white wrench symbol on a black background means the value is in lbs/ft, a black wrench on a white background means lbs/in. In this case it's 114 lbs/ft for the front bolt and 105 lbs/ft for the rear bolt. The ball joint nut spec should be in the section with the steering knuckle.

Thank you! I don't know how I missed those. I've been reading service manuals for years. Must have had a brain fart.

Don't go so hard on yourself, everybody's manuals are different and they all have their own idiosyncrasies. Now you know where to find it in a Nissan SM. Happy to help.
