Hello and thanks for your question!

The torque for the lower control arms is 85 ft lbs.

Be sure to torque these with the vehicle weight on the ground, or binding of the arm bushings can occur and cause problems.

Let us know if you need anything else, we are here to help.

Thanks for using 2CarPros,
