A typical listing reads:
“Control arm on side member M12 x 1.5 120 (89)”
But forming a mental picture of exactly what that “Control arm on side member” looks like as I’m under the car is challenging. I’ve attached a page from a Toyota shop manual which illustrates the assembly, and has the tightening specs of each threaded fastener shown alongside it. Is there any document (possibly the Bentley Manual) that provides the 996 torque specs in a similar fashion?
Thanks.

Translation: M12 x 1.5 120 (89)” = M12X 1.5 is the metric fastener size; 120 (89) it the torque specs for the fastener, 120Nm or 89 ft. lb. (there is a key printed in the lower left hand corner of the page you posted). You will find this type of listing common in most service manuals.
