Torque Specs for Body Mount Bushings

OK Mabey Im an idiot or just blind but after MUCH research online and extensive reading through the site I STILL cannot find torque specs for the 1998 4Runner. I have read through all online FSM available and none elude to specific quantitative numbers. I cannot settle for "as tight as you can get em'" or "20-30 should do"
anyhow just throwing it out there does anybody know what they are?????

I don't know if there are any. I couldn't find any either. Since the bushings will likely just keep smushing down the more you compress them, I don't know that you could ever get an actual torque figure. But I'm just hypothesizing here.

yeah that's what I thought so I called Energy Suspension and low and behold they bounced me back to "retorque to factory specs" so I called the dealer here in Podunk BFE where I live and the dude says: "as tight as you can get them soooooooo...where to go from here?!?!?!

Found in less than 5 minutes with a search...

"Going by the "Standard Bolt Tightening Torque - Appendix B, '85 Pickup/4Runner Factory Service Manual", 20-30 ft.lbs. seems appropriate for the size and grade of hardware used."
