2012 Tacoma reg. cab 4X4 2.7 5speed St. shift

Stock but did install a ARE cap with roof rack. fold up windows all the way around for ease of use .

I have some noise I posted about just a bit ago and decided to have a look see.. Please I don't have a work shop manual for this truck yet.. just about every thing I put a wrench too I found lose or way lose.. heck even the U bolts holding the rear axle to the springs were reticules lose.. I don't know the specs on how tight things should be so I limited my tightening to body and some suspension components.. I been working on cars trucks for well over 40 years so I know about how tight most things should be.. Ya even the wheel lugs were lose.. At least the specs for them are the owner's manual.. some were as low as 20 ft lbs and as high as 70 ft lbs.. tranny mounts were almost hand lose cross member was also darn lose.. What gives are they on crack? Please if anyone can post the suspension and body torque spec's please post.. Thanks George
P.S.
