Angle Torque

90 134.4 Nm
92 143.5 Nm
90 126.6 Nm
90 137.4 Nm
Btw, I don't know how one would do this torque sequence for this part without a wrench that is capable of measuring accumulative angle values, since there is room to turn the nut only about 20 degrees at a time. Fortunately, my Snap-On allows me to ratchet back and forth, and adds up all the angles while torquing.

Have just done a DIY of the solid subframe bushings, and driveshaft was envolved on that.
Torquing up things back on installation, those 90 degrees required a huge amount of force to do, specially as the car was on jacks, and the space is really tight below it.
To be honest, I wasn't able to make to 90 degrees. I think 70 is what I got
