Rear suspension makeover torque specs
Hello and Happy Thanksgiving!
My holiday project is rear suspension makeover on MY2009 W164 ML350 (136K miles) with steel suspension.
I have new shocks, springs, ball joints, control arms and all wishbone bushings, sway bar, links but I cannot find remove and install procedures with torque specs on forum.
Can anyone please upload few PDFs to help me out with the project ?

Updated.
Major, I replaced my rear shocks last week and was looking for the specs.
I used the same nuts that came off the original struts that had an original paint mark, and tried to hope that the thread pattern started in the same place. :-)
But I'm still interested in finding the correct torque specs as I will be doing most of the repair items myself. Replaced the front brake pads the week prior to the shocks.
Thanks

I found a great YouTube video for the re and re. Got it done in record time, but they also didn't quote any specs.
So far so good. All buttoned up.
I will keep looking through some of the other resources.
Appreciated.

Torque Specs
Can anyone answer the OP request. I’m looking for torque specs for the rear suspension as well. Just replaced rear springs shocks trailing control arms and knuckle. Also need axle nut specs as well. Have a w164 2011 ml350 bluetec. Much appreciated.
