    Default Torque Specs, Please?

    Drove up to my parents place to get a bunch of work done on my car ('90 535i), except I was an idiot and left my Bentley manual at home. Can anyone give me the torque specs for the following (And/or confirm the numbers I already have)?


    Brake Caliper to Mount:

    Thrust Arm @ Ball joint: 68 ft/lbs
    Thrust Arm @ Bushing: 90 ft/lbs

    Front Sway Bar End Links:
    Front Sway Bar Bushings (nuts on the retaining bracket):

    More important than the actual torque # is when doing the bushings to have the suspension bearing the cars weight before they are tight so the bush isn't under stress at normal ride height.
    A good hearty grunt on the bushing, tight on the ball joint and good n snug on the links.

    Don't need one, just make it tight enough so they do not rattle and you are set.
