Is there an easily accessible list of MM/CV torque specs? I need a few..

-Upper control arm bolts
-Hub assembly
-Lower (1) and upper (3) strut nuts
-Sway bar end links
-Upper ball joint nut
-Brake caliper bracket (usually just get these good and tight by hand, but since I'm asking..)

Any info is appreciated.

I have a shop manual at home.... only problem is I won't be back there until Wednesday.....

Thanks to a Ford tech friend, I now have the specs I need, and then some. Editing the original post to show specs. Hopefully others find this useful.
