Replacing rear struts and mounts

[ctak24]

Hey guys I have a 2001 Camry V6 Collectors Edition
This weekend I plan on replacing the rear struts and mounts.
I purchased Monroe mounts, Moog rubbers, and KYB GR-2's. I plan on re-using the bumpstop piece.

The question I wanted to ask is what are the torque specs for:

-strut mount to body
-strut shaft to strut mount
-strut to knuckle

this is for the rear of a Gen 4 Camry

and if you guys have any tips for the install that would be great.

also, it seems that my Camry does not have a rear sway bar. I just realized this today, is this normal?

Mount to body = 34 ft-lbs
Shaft to mount = 52 ft-lbs
Strut to knuckle, I don't remember off the top of my head. Just tighten the crap out of it, I would not worry about overtightening such a thick bolt.

Rear sway bar = definitely not normal. Replace it while you have the struts out.
