Torque specs
05 Town and Country 3.3L
I changed out my struts, sway bar end links and the lower control arm with ball joint.
Looking for torque specs for the struts, end links, and the suspension carriage.
Thanks in advance.

FOR A 2012 GRAND CARAVAN:
Torque the three nuts securing the strut assembly to the shock tower to 28 N.m (21 ft.lbs.
At curb height, tighten front lower control arm mounting bolt (1) to 155 Nm (114 ft. lbs.) This bolt gets tightened last, and should be performed when vehicle is on the ground with the wheels on.

-
- Install strut clevis-to-knuckle nuts (3) on the two bolts (2). While holding the bolts in place, tighten the strut clevis-to-knuckle nuts to 88 Nm (65 ft. lbs.) plus an additional 90°turn after torque is met.
- Hand thread nut (3) on end of stabilizer bar link stud. Place an open-end wrench on flat surface machined into link's mounting stud to hold stud from turning while tightening nut. Tighten nut to 88 Nm (65 ft. lbs.).
