where can I find torque settings?

[texaxile]

Hi,
I need to find the torque settings for the rear lateral arm bolts (all) and suspension on an 04 WRX Impreza. Does anyone know a reference which I can use which might also cover other vehicles as well?.(don't say "google" lol).

FWIW I understand all suspension needs to be torqued to spec when a car is on the ground, or on a 4 wheel ramp rather than with the suspension at full travel to stop premature damage to the bushes, am I correct in this?.

Thanks in advance and virtual Single Malt to all

Cheers.

That is indeed true for rubber "void bushes" as if you do them up on "full droop" they are permanently twisted on the road & it will shorten their lifespan.
