Default Rear Control Arm Torque Values

Can someone look up the torque specs for the 4 rear control arm bolts?
I found a post that stated they were all over 90 ft-lbs, but that sounded high, and it also didn't specify which bolts were torqued to what value.

I've got a squeak coming from one of the rear bushings that I think is from me not re-torquing the bushings after installing the suspension (I preloaded the suspension before torquing the botton shock bolt and the tophat bolts). Car has 50k miles on it, and the busings look ok, so I'd be amazed if it's a failing bushing.

Thanks in advance!

Meant to say thank you!
Checked them last night and the squeaking is gone after putting a few hundred miles on it, might have just been because the car sat for two months.
