it says 123-152 ft.lbs for rear ones.... (weird that they dont give exact number...)
The FSM (Factory service manual) says:
123-152 ft-lbs for front axle (Section 4-2 page 9)
123-152 ft-lbs for rear axle (Section 4-2 page 27)
The lower number is for used nuts, the higher for new nuts (according to the venerable master mechanic Beav).
Hope this helps, wolf33h
