Default Front Lower Ball Joint Assembly

Hi Everyone!
I have a 2007 GS350 RWD and have looked on You Tube, Google and all over this site and still can't find the answer I am looking for so I decided to see if anyone knows here. I'm replacing the front lower left and right ball joint assembly and just need to torque spec for the 2 lower to bolts for the ball joint assembly, and the 2 castle nuts on top for the tie rod end and the lower suspension arm. I believe the suspension arm is using a 19mm castle nut and the tie rod is using a 17mm castle nut. Thank you so much!!!

According to manual, Tie rod torque is 50ft lb for 2010 rwd. Everything else is the same.
