LCA pivot stud= 140ft.lbs. Strut rod rear = 105ft.lbs. front = 55ft.lbs. Tie rods = 40-45 ft.lbs. Lower ball joint to spindle = 120-125 ft.lbs. Idler arm thru bolt = 65ft.lbs. Upper ball joint to UCA = 125ft.lbs. min. Upper & lower ball joints to spindle = 65-75 ft.lbs. May be hard to use torque wrench here, just make sure they are tight. When using rubber LCA and strut rod bushings car should be at ride height when nuts are tightened. Never loosen a nut in order to install cotter pins, tighten just enough more to install. Pre '73 "A" bodies may hay a different idler arm attachment, use torque specs from parts box. Good luck.
