Control Arm Torque Specs

[07JeepXK]

Looking to see if anyone has the install instructions out of the service manual on the torque specs for the Upper and Lower Control arms for the front end. I'll be installing the new Lower Control arms and JBA HD UCA's tomorrow morning and need anything I can get with the proper specs for a 2007 XK 4.7 liter. I would have started tonight but the dealer gave me a few wrong bolts/nuts that I ordered a few days ago.

lower control arm rear bolts = 65ft lbs, front bolt 125ft lbs, ball joint nut to 70ft lbs

upper control arm bolts = 80ft lbs, ball joint nut to 70ft lbs

Hmmm both of you listed different torque specs. Does anyone have the actual service manual removal/install instructions?

Edited to clarify where the info came from. Both from OEM service manuals

Thanks to the both of you. So the original numbers you posted Matt were for the 05 WK right?

Yes, i have a digital copy of that so I threw those out there while I dug out my 07 XK manual. Actually surprised a few of them are different.

Awsome, well thanks once again. Install will take place in the morning after a trip to the dealer. The gave me the wrong bolts/nuts for the lower control arm strut fork and I have all new lower control arm front/rear bolts that will be in at 8am.
