front suspension torque spec

[502BBC]

I am rebuilding the front suspension on my 84 regal and was wondering if someone knew the factory torque specs for the upper and lower control arm bushings, upper and lower ball joints, and tierod. everywhere it just says to torque to manufactures recommended spec, but nobody says what that is, when you purchase new trw tierods and balljoints you just get the joint, no directions.
Thanks

Here's some #'s from the Service Manual:

UCA to frame nuts 48 ft/lbs
LCA to frame nuts 65 ft/lbs*

UCA bushing nuts frnt & rr 85*
BJoint to CA 13 ft/lbs
LBJ 83 ft/lbs
UBJ 61 ft/lbs
*torque with weight of car on wheels
No joy on the tie rods

Does anyone know the torque specs for the upper balljoint bolts that replace the rivets?
