Front Strut Torque Specs

I need to replace front struts protective booths and bump stops. I searched the web to figure out torque specs for the struts mounting hardware with no definitive results. looking for torque specs on strut to wishbone (C & D), strut center nut (B) and strut to body (A) as shown in picture below. Thanks in advance. Regards

C - D: 90nm + 180 degrees. Must be torqued in the normal position, and hardware should ideally be replaced due to the torque-to-yield spec

B: 34nm

A: 28nm

Unspec, Much appreciated. yes, all hardware are getting replaced. Bolts & nuts alone costing $50+ lol. Hard part is getting the car normal position and having enough room to torque the nuts.

Regards,
Use the jack to push the wheel carrier up. That's what I do. Or just put jack stands under the wheel carrier - up to you
