Suspension torque specs?
Guys -
Need a hand finding the torque specs for the front and rear suspension bolts. I called my local dealers and they have been useless, transferring me to this guy or that guy that really doesn't know or isn't in right now, etc.
I bought King 2.5" coilovers to replace stock and want to re-torque everything correctly.
Also, can i just disconnect the battery to bypass the E-power steering issue when working on front end... or should i disconnect the power steering box specifically?

Would recommend that you invest in a set of FoMoCo service manuals -OR- associated DVD.

on my 2010, the lower bolt on my strut to the A-arm was 500 ft-lbs. For the shock tower, it was only 35ft-lbs. You should have nylock type nuts on the top. I also remember the sway bar being fairly light, but I can't recall exactly what the sway bar ft-lbs were. I wanna say 50, but I'm not fully confident.

Nevermind i found the specs with some healthy use of google-fu.
They are roughly the same 2004-2012...
The Kings come with new bolts to mount in the coil bucket (top mount), they do not have studs. Plan to reuse everything else.
So last question is, can I count on just disconnecting the battery or should i disconnect the e-power steering box? Any difference with one vs both front wheels off the ground?
