    Bentley Publisher's doesn't disclose the full torque specifications for the rear suspension, particularly for the rear bolts on the lower control arm triangular plate. I snugged them up, not sure if it is 70 ft lbs or 81 ft lbs or even more.

    Thanks, unfortunately, it doesn't seem to give torque specs for the bolts that go into the back of the lower control arm plate (there are two bushings on both driver and passenger side that secure into the rear subframe); I ended up snugging these bolts with the suspension preloaded; then tightened until I could feel no more.
