Suspension Torque specs

Hey all, I’m swapping the front air suspension with factory replacements, Bilstein.

I am also do the sway bar bushings, and sway bar links.

Does anyone have the torque specs for the strut mount, the bolt connecting the strut to the lower control arm, the sway bar links, and bushings?

I’m not wanting to over tighten and strip anything.

Thanks I’m advance!!!

They are big steel bolts going into big steel nuts. I never bothered with any specific torque specs. Just yank 'em gutentite.

I don't think that is necessary for strut replacement.

However, if you keep the clamps tight on the swaybar, yes those bolts must be tightened at ride height.
