i would say 40 ft pounds or so, i always get them as tight as i can. if they have an alen wreck inst on the bolt portion dont do it to tight or it will snap off.

To subframe is 62 ft/lbs and to the strut is 48 ft/lbs.....put a jack underneath both so that the ball joints don't spin....no need for the allen wrench.
