    What are the torque specs for the two control arm bolts - the ones that connect the control arm to the cross member sub-assembly?

    There is a horizontal front bolt that screws into a welded nut, and a vertical rear bolt that has a separate nut.

    I just spent 30 minutes scouring online and can only find torque specs for most of the other front suspension components.

    jjmerp, what is the attachment you included for? It does not look like a Gen II Prius suspension.

    Everything in the diagrams exactly matched my 2005 Prius, including torque specs for many suspension and sub assembly parts, which was just what I needed.

    It’s the lower control arm without the ball joint attached.

    Sorry, I must have had some other document open that was confusing me.
    Please disregard, and thanks for sharing the document!
