Default torque values....

Sorry in advance. Been beating my head trying to perform searches for some torque values. Found some but not even sure they are accurate.
I replaced rear struts and sway bar links and will replace rotors and pads front and rear.
found these values.
3 nuts top or rear struts 47 ft. Lbs
strut to knuckle nuts 156 ft. Lbs
sway bar links 29 ft. Lbs (not even sure how to torque with goofy hex bolt center)

found nothing for calipers mounting or slide.

how wheel lug torque

can anyone conform above values, provide other values or point me in the right direction..

TIA
