torque settings

I am going to install a set of bilstein 5100 on the front of my friends 2013 f150 fx4. Is there a list of torque settings for the lower control arm where it meets the spindle and brake and all the strut torques. Thanks in advance....I drive a toyota tacoma and there is no 351 ftlbs torque on the lower shock mount god damn!

Huh? You don't get a response in 3 hours and you think this place is dead?

I'm sure there are torque specs for anything you want in the factory service manual, which I don't happen to have at my fingertips............................

for my 2012 f150 the torque spec for the LCA was 351 ft/lbs, a quick google search listed numerous pages of suspension components and their respective torque specs.

x2. Google solves a lot of questions. Always give er' a try. Worse case scenario you can grab info you found and ask for verification on here. Or even call a Ford dealer's service shop and request the torque ft lbs for the items you intend to work with.

Indeed the forum isn't hi-flowing like it was 10 years ago, but it certainly is not dead. There is a good quantity of honest no b-s folks on here with solid advice. Good advice is worth waiting for imo .
