Hello again,

I'm sorry about that. I thought I had included that in my prior answer to you. I have the entire front suspension torque values listed in the diagrams below for you. I hope this helps.

Thanks,
Alex

So if I am reading those pages correctly the idler arm gets torqued to the bracket to 111 FT-LB. And the bracket gets torqued to the frame to 71 FT-LB. And the idler arm gets torqued to the intermediate shaft to 47 FT-LB.
