If you mean the front suspension member brace, then it's 43 ft-lbf.

Leon, here's a pic of what I thought is named the lower front brace. The photo shows a TRD brace instead of the OEM rounded brace. But the mounting bolts are the same...

This is the one I need the torque specs for..

Thanks Leon. Maybe you can confirm one more torque spec.
Front end - lower shock bolt. I read somewhere here it is 116 ft lb. Yet, somewhere else only 70 ft lbs.

Can you help me confirm? thanks in advance

Greg

Greg, according to the shop manual, 116 ft-lbf is correct.
