Front wishbone torque settings

[Socrates]

Apologies if this has been answered before - would appreciate a second pair of eyes on the torque settings for the M16 and M14 nuts of the front wishbone as indicated below. I’m not 100% that I’m matching these correctly to the description on pg152 of Autobooks:

	Nm	Lb/ft
Front axel damper bottom	76	55
Front axel damper top	23	17
Front axel damper threaded ring	130	94
Track rod on steering knuckle	46	33
Guide joint on track rod arm	60	43
Track control arm on axel support with normal load	160	116
Axel support on body	75	54
Tie bars with normal load	61	44

Page # 152 of the autobook manual has all the suspension (and more) torque recommendations.

Yup, that’s the info reproduced in the table in my post. Any suggestions how these map to the numbers in the picture?

Can be torqued on the ground loaded with weight to achieve "normal position" with a bunch of extensions and some bracing to keep them in line. All a bit Heath Robinson but if you cant get it up on a 4 post lift it works. They're calling the wishbone 'control arm' in this list.

Thanks so much. In the meantime, I’ve also discovered these torque settings on pg 97 of this owner’s manual. Curious that none of them agree.
