I was wondering where I can find these torque specs unless someone knows these already then please let me know.

-Upper control arm
-lower ball joints
-sway bar end link
-inner tie rod
-outer tie rod end
And I have to remove the wheel bearing right? So I guess that torque spec

This what I found so far correct me if I'm wrong please or let me know what is correct

-Upper control arm to frame 97ftlbs/ball joint 60ftlbs
-lower ball joints 60ftlbs
-outer tie rod end 45ftlbs plus 90° turn
-sway bar end link top nut 27ftlbs bottom nut 75ftlbs
the only one I didn't find was the inner tie rod. Please let me know if this is right or wrong

Wow 38 and 40 ft# for the upper and lower ball joint nuts. Seems like it should be more.

The 05 should be the same as mine. You don't need to take the bracket off the caliper just take the caliper bolts off and pull the rotor with the caliper still on it and set it on a bucket so there's no tension on the brake lines. And upper ball joint nut should be a deep socket 21mm and the lower ball joint should be a deep socket 15/16" or use a wrench and you don't need the deep sockets

Could someone please repost those specs again? It looks like the links to the images are dead.
