Torque spec reference?
Hello,
I am replacing the rear shocks on my 2010 RX 350 and I am trying to find out the torque spec for the upper and lower shock bolts. I have stomped all over the web and I cannot find anything definitive. I have seen SWAGs of 60ft/lb, but I'd like to see something from a Lexus doc be sure. I know I can determine it by indexing/testing before I remove the bolts, but again, numbers from the manufacturer would be better. Does anyone know the answer to this or know of a reference I can access?

I know... I was referring to the procedure of marking the bolt head, loosening it, and then testing to see what torque it takes to get back to the mark. I did this and got 100 ft/lb so that's what I used, along with some blue Locktite for good measure. Without an impact wrench and Silikroil, I'd have never gotten the bolts out.
