I don't have the manual and am replacing the front and rear shocks on the 2005 base. I know the specs on the front but on the rear I've read top 2 shock mount nuts get 59.. And bottom single bolt/nu gets 59 ft lbs as well as 103 ft lbs? Autozone repair section says 103 and just a few vids say 59.. Does anyone have the manual or just remember what the torque for the bottom bolt and nut are?

My manual says 59. The 103 spec is for the AWD connection to the rear suspension arm.

Thanks for the reply! I did end up finding that out late last night. Makes sense that the AWD get almost double FPE..
