Don't know how to link you to the thread but here is the name of the thread & use search. Specs should be the same for all years." 1992 Sc400 suspension torque specs."

just remember to do the final torque on the ground after settling it (you torque it just enough to not come apart when you set it down, not with the wheels in the air which preloads the bushings.
or take it in for an alignment and that will do that on the rack anyways.
