Default Torque spec for upper ball joint

Since the AIM shows rivets for the upper ball joints rather than nut and bolt, what should I torque them too? I am using a G8 bolt with a lock washer and nut. TIA Andy

My Moog ones gave the following for those three bolts

1/4" dia - 10-12 ft-lb
5/16 Dia - 14-19 ft-lbs
3/8 dia - 28-45 ft lbs
