I am in the process of replacing my left Axle and decided to replace the control Arms at the same time. Does anyone have the torque values for the following:

Control Arm Mounting Bolts (4 bolt style)
Ball Joint Nut
Axle center bolt - This version does not use a nut. Uses a Bolt.
Tie Rod nut

Also, Since everything is apart any big deal to change the Strut? I have never done one...do you need a spring compressor?

The answer I really needy is the torque values! Thanks....

I don't know...common sense, 40-50 or so, maybe more, not sure, sorry
Yes, you need a spring compressor and don't forget to install either XC90 spring seats or IPD HD seats when installing struts

I made a mistake, torque spec should be much higher for axles
70-100
