    lower ball joint 80-95
    pivot bolt (to x-member) 95-110
    tie rod end 72-90

    wheel hub nut. finger tight, then rotate back and forth. then tighten to 20nm, loosen the nut 2 turns then retighten to 12nm.

    no idea where your gonna find a torque wrench that goes as low as 12nm though. mine starts at 35nm i just go by feel. last time i did it i fitted the wheel and guessed how tight it was when the wheel stopped moving in and out. if that makes sense.
