I tried looking this up on the web and here but I can't find what I need. Can someone please give me the torque specs for the rear upper and lower controlarms and wheel lug nuts?

I did not know this.

I installed my control arms, and with a 1/2" drive ratchet, I torqued them down till I farted. They were tight.

No issues since.

:D

Mike, you are using the butt meter the WRONG way. It is suppose to be what you feel while driving IE. "butt dyno"..

NOT emitting sound or in your case something ungodly foul from your Kentucky fed bowel...

Remember, this is with the weight of the car on the suspension. It must be loaded in order to do it right.

Turn the air suspension off.

Actually the shop manual says to "measure the distance from the lip of the fender to the center of the wheel hub with the vehicle in a static level ground position". When reinstalling make sure the distance from the lip of the fender to the center of the wheel hub is equal to the measurement taken in the removal process before tightening the bolts.

Make sure the fasteners are installed in the same orientation as when they were removed.

BTW.... The control arms are interchangeable from side to side as long as the stamped "OUTBOARD" or "OUTBOARD / FRONT" is on the outboard side.
