Camber Shim Kit Torque

Can't find the how to on this. Anyone have the link handy.

What is the torque spec for the two bolts that have the shim washers?

What is the torque spec for the top bolt and nut?

Is thread adhesive to be used on the top bolt and nut?

Installed shims this evening, all went smooth.

Unfortunately, my thread adhesive was solid.

Alignment scheduled for Tues.

Thanks

Pretty sure it is 60 ftlb for bolts with spacers.

Still not sure on top bolt and nut torque and thread adhesive.

I used 81 Nm for the two bottom bolts tht came with the Turner shim kit. For the top three nuts I did 15 ft-lbs (~20 Nm) per install instructions from Rogue on their strut brace.
