Torque specs for control arm bolts after RCA kit install
I do not have a factory manual and installing the whiteline RAC kit. The whiteline instructions do not provide any bolt torque numbers.
I found this nice writeup:

...but, it has no torque specs for all the bolts either. Can anyone fill in the gap by supplying the factory torque specs for:
1) Control Arm bottom bolt
2) Control Arm side bolt
3) Sway bar end link bolt
4) Ball joint bolt
5) Tie rod bolt
And please refrain from just saying: "just get as tight as you can" ...that is useless
Thanks
