I’m looking for the torque specs for my 2014 crv. I’m replacing the rear strut assemblies and would like to torque the bolts. Also need to ones for the lower rear control arm

Most unhelpful answer ever: with suspension bushings I make sure it's fully weighted at ride height and get 'em gutentight. Use a drop of Loctite if concerned. I'm more worried about trashing bushings by tightening at full droop then having them sit in perpetual twist at ride height.

Beyond that, I just search the web rather than starting a thread. I'm sure it's on five different Honda forums out there.

Like I said, not helpful....
 
Just watch some of the youtube auto repair shops, and if you watched a dealer shop, not many techs torque those sort of fasteners, they can't afford to it takes too much time and trying to fit the wrench in impossible places.

If you need the torque specs look up the standard specs for the size and strength of the bolt, there are plenty of bolt supply places that post those specs, it's not brain surgery, / rocket science.
 
Since no one has answered your question yet, here's the specs from the service manual:

Lower strut mounting bolt: 69 lb/ft
Upper strut mounting nuts: 54 lb/ft
Control arm to body bolts: 54 lb/ft
Sway bar nut: 28 lb/ft
Thank you. Where did you find a service manual?
