Ball joint torque specs?

Hello, I'm replacing my inner and outer ball joints on my '05 MCS and can't find torque specs for the life of me. I need the specs for the bolts the hold the inner ball joints to the sub frame. I ordered the Bently manual over a week ago and received notification that it will arrive Fri and the ball joints arrived today. I have them in place just need the torque spec.and can't wait till Fri. I believe the nuts are 48 ft lb for the outer and 56 ft lb on the inner. Thanks a million in advance.
