Does anyone have the specs for the front suspension bolts?
I need torque specs for the following

the two bolts that hold the ball joint to the lower control arm ?

the bolts that attach the strut rod to the lower control arm ?

the lower control arm bolt that attaches from the torsion bar to the l member ?

Spindle castle nut ?

the tie rod ends and sleeve ?
The caliper slide bolts? This doesn’t have the long bolts that most calipers do these are I believe they call them slide pins


Thanks in advance I’m almost done can’t wait to drive :)

I'd like to help but what you're working on might make a difference...I wouldn't want to 'steer' you wrong:p

Best thing is to just go to here and download your year Factory Service Manual, they're free.

"When you are tightening the bolt/nut with your air impact you know it's tight when the air compressor turns on" - Pinky (my dad)
 
This may help if you can't find the
service manual info. Bear in mind
that you're dealing with old
used hardware that has stretched,
is probably oil soaked, and may have
threads that are compromised.
If you're going to re-use the hardware
it's OK to apply a couple more ft/lbs
than what the chart calls for.
Also, almost all hardware used in
steering and suspension ststems
are grade 8 bolts/nuts.

If I followed my own rules I wouldn't be posting this close to bedtime either. I have regretted it on more than one occasion.
