According to haynes/chilton:

Strut bracket to carrier- 35 ft-lbs
camber cam bolt- 65 ft-lbs
Driveaxle to diff side gear yokes- 15 ft-lbs(strap or u-bolt)
Driveaxle to wheel spindle flange- 75 ft-lbs
Upper shock mount- 40-60 ft-lbs
Lower shock mount- 50-60 ft-lbs
Strut rod to spindle support- 75 ft-lbs

For the suspension components, put the car back on its wheels before you torque everything down all the way. good luck
