Default classic lower control arm torque

Hello all!

I have a 1998 impreza sti, Does anyone have the torque specs for the 3 bolts for the lower control arm?


Thanks.

edit: also is there a special way to torque it? Like does the car have to be off the jackstands to properly torque it?

Thank you!

I know its for usdm, but I have a JDM import rhd. Will the settings be the same? Also its has a +/- # for each settings. ex. T-10 has 112 +/- 14 ft lbs. Does that mean it can be higher or lower by 14ftlbs?

Yes, USDM has the same suspension setup as UK or JDM.

Does that mean it can be higher or lower by 14ftlbs
Yes, anywhere between 98 and 126 ft lbs for your example.
