Torque Values

I'm currently rebuilding my front end on my 85TA. Does anyone know the torque values on the tie rods, ball joints, control arm mounting bolts, pitman arm to center link, idler arm to center link? I've tried to search for it but haven't came up with anything yet. I'm ready to get it back together but want to get it right. Oh and the torque spec on the top strut nut and the strut mount nuts.

Thanks guys

These are out of an '88 Firebird Service Manual. Should be similar. Good luck.

Re: Torque Values

One thing to keep in mind regardless of what torque specs you get is that over tightening suspension components that use bushings will cause suspension bind.
You want to make sure everything moves freely as it's intended to do.
