03 Neon R/T Front End Torque Specs

I need the torque specs for front-end of a 03 R/T. I just replaced my driver side wheel bearing and lower ball joint, and now I get a loud metallic clunck/pop from the driver side when making sharp turns (low speed), flexing, and hitting sharp bumps. I have a feeling it is due to over tightened or loose nuts/bolts. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Also does anyone know if the 03 R/T is supposed to have the 10" brake rotor like the SRT?

As far as torque specs are concerned, the sterring knuckle to balljoint bolt and nut should be torqued to 21ft-lb, the control arm pivot bolts at 120ft-lb, tie-rod end adjusting nut is 55ft-lb, the steering knucle to tie-rod en ballstud is 40ft-lb, the crossmember bolts are 105ft-lb, and i think that should cover everything for you...

For the brakes, all 2000-2005 SOHC Neons have 10.1" front rotors, and the SRT-4 has 11.1" front rotors...
