its usually at the end of each section in installation procedure for every piece. its easy to miss. would have been noce if they had dedicated a couple pages at the end for torque specs..

and personally I put a coat of anti seize on ball joint seating surfaces. Just in case it ever needs to come apart again..

Good luck with the project.
