Rear suspension Torque Specs
Hello,
In search of torque specs for the rear suspension - specifically, all fasteners that attach to the hub.
Also need torque for the rear axle nut.
Additionally, torque for strut to rear lower control arm, and rear lower control arm to subframe.
Doing rear wheel bearings and can't seem to locate the torque specs anywhere.

12mm bolts 60-65 ft-lbs. 14mm bolts 90-95 ft-lbs. Exception are the 12mm brake caliper to hub bolts which are 85 ft-lbs and one-time use per WIS. Run a tap through the threads for the caliper bolts per WIS.
Can't help you on the bearing nut...

Much appreciated bbirdwell.
I found these in a manual:
Axle nut - 320 nm
Rear axle torsion bar - 50 nm
Tension arm - 50 nm and then 90 degrees (aluminum) or 140 nm (steel)
Camber strut - 50 nm and 90 degrees (aluminum) or 140 nm (steel)
Torque strut - 50 nm and 90 degrees (alum) or 170 nm (steel)
Wheel bearing bolts to hub - 80 nm
Hopefully this helps someone out in the future.
