I did a comparison of the Torque values posted by Ron in Ft Lbs to my Owner's Manual using the conversion factor of 1.3556 ft. Lbs. = 1 NM. Actually the values are very similar. The Front and rear axle nuts are the Same, 70 - 80 NM NOT 50 Ft Lbs. The Ft Lbs chart calls for 52-59 Ft Lbs ( average of 55.5 Ft Lbs Not 50 as previously mentioned.
The Key question is are BOTH charts WRONG, and should we be using 50 Ft Lbs (68 NM rather than the 75 average NM on the Owner's Manual?
Is the Owner's Manual / CD Wrong?
