Replacing tension struts and ball joints today

So - I've been sitting on these parts for a little over 2 months now. I've decided today is the day and I am about to start.

One thing I cannot find is the proper torque values for this stuff. I've been searching the forum and cannot find some of the stuff I found a couple months ago

I did find some of my handwritten notes from May. Does anyone know if this is right?

For the two bolts (each) that hold the ball-joint to the wheel carrier - 44#

For the single bolt that holds the tension strut to the ball joint. 59#

How about the bolt that runs through the big fat bushing? (Once the car is back on the ground and the suspension is "loaded")

Wish me luck.
