Front Suspension Rebuild

Hi All,

I'm in the middle of rebuilding the front suspension on my 2002 986. I have the new control arms, struts, and tie rods.

My question is does anyone know where I can find good step by step instructions on this? I'm looking for specifics like bolt tension etc.

Thanks to anyone that can help.
