This is the chapter a torque wrench lives in: every torque table in the manual that is not the engine’s, gathered group by group — suspension front and rear, differential and driveline, brakes, clutch, cooling and accessory drive, exhaust, fuel, steering, wheels, body, emissions, and a long electrical table that runs from the generator bolts to the airbag screws.
Two signposts before you start. The engine’s torque specifications are in the Engines chapter, and each gearbox’s torque table travels with it in the Transmissions chapter. And where the manual contradicts itself — it does, once, on the differential mounting bolts — the note printed with the table says so. Believe the note, and check twice.
