Don't know if car year matters but the 84 manual says Lower Control Arm Shaft to Crossmember is 96 ft.lbs. Lower Control Arm to Lower Ball Joint 48 ft.lbs. Shock to lower control arm is 22 ft.lbs.

Torque values with car on the ground.

:yesnod: I think so.

My 89 man. says - 82 ft lbs. for the lower control arm, 19 ft lbs. for the shock and 50 ft lbs. for ball joint to knuckle nut.
