    My '06 has 58k miles and surely the chassis & drivetrain bolts are all "settled in" pretty well, if you know what I mean. I have a good torque wrench that goes up to 150 ft-lb and a decent set of sockets and extensions. I would like to check these major fasteners just to make sure they're still solid and within spec. I'm talking about bell housing, tranny & engine mounts, suspension/a-arm bolts, crossmembers, leaf shackles, etc. Is it worth my time? Is this even a good idea, or should I just leave them well enough alone? Also I cannot find the torque specs in the FSM or anywhere else. Thx

    The FSM will have the torque specs listed under "Components" of the section you are checking. Example,
    The numbers in teh boxes next to the fastener give the torque values...
