Default Torque Specs, pinion angle, centering

I just installed my eibach pro kit springs, lakewood adj upper and lower control arms, and PH brace. I ran into a problem with the steel sleave in the adj PHB was a **** hair too small for the bolt. Once I get that problem taken care ofand on I need to get it all in line. I am very mechanicaly inclined but this is the first nonleaf spring car I'v had. If anyone could help me with some of this it would be great.

1. torque specs for the whole rear suspension?
2. how do I measure the axle to make sure its centered?
3. how do I measure my pinion angle?

Torque specs: http://www.2005stang.com/gallery/alb...suspention.pdf

Centering Axle: with suspension fully loaded measure the distance from the outside of the rim to the fender on each side. You can tape a plum-bob to the top of the fender and then measure from the rim to the string holding the plumbob. Measure exactly the same way on each site. Adjust as necessary so the distance is the same.

hey man thanks a million, there was some really good stuff in both of those. That cleared up a lot things I wasn't 100% on. I gotta get some LCA relocation brackets, need traction.

thanks again
