Front/Rear suspension/rack full torque specs

[Frank818]

FFR has a page (135 or super close) with rear suspension components torque specs, however it confused me more than anything else.

For example, it says "Trailing link". What is a trailing link, is it the OEM Trailing Arm (lower) or the FFR Trailing Arm (upper)?
Says "Lateral link". What is a lateral link, is it the OEM Lateral links (lower), also called "rear toe-link", or the FFR small Lateral link (upper)?
FFR also changes vocab depending on which page you read. So all in all, it confused me.


Can anyone help me identify the right specs for each and all of the 12 rear suspension bolts? (There are actually 11 but I skipped #9 due to a mistake. loll )
Except the shock, as it's obvious on FFR's chart that both bolts are around 45lbs, it says "upper shock" and "lower shock", can't go wrong.


I have marked the pictures with numbers and FFR specs with letter for cross-matching, but obviously there are some missing, which is possible FFR means "torque to OEM specs", but I still need to identify these.

I'm sure you guys know what you torqued your bolts at?

After looking in the OEM manual and trying to guess FFR's vocab on pic #1 in previous post, here's what I think the match is:


1(A)-FFR trailing link to spindle 90Nm, 66ft-lb
2(B)-FFR trailing link to frame 100Nm, 74ft-lb
3-OEM trailing arm to frame 115Nm, 85ft-lb
4,5-OEM lateral links to frame 100Nm, 74ft-lb
6(D)-FFR upper lateral link to frame 100Nm, 74ft-lb
7-OEM lateral links to spindle 135Nm, 100ft-lb
8-OEM trailing arm to spindle 90Nm, 66ft-lb
10(E)-Upper ball joint bracket to spindle 200Nm, 145ft-lb
11(C)-FFR upper lateral link to spindle 140Nm, 103ft-lb
12-OEM strut bolts on spindle 220Nm, 162ft-lb


Can anyone plz validate if this makes sense?
I find #11(C) to be a lot, but maybe I am just confused.

Frank - I have not been able to find anything different than what you noted above, so that is what I am going to follow. If anyone else has a better understanding of the torque specs, please let me know.
