I am in process of replacing rear shocks and coil springs...can someone please provide torque specs for various bolts/nuts? TIA:

• Knuckle to control arm (bolt 25)
• Stabilizer bar link upper/lower (bolt 25/nut 28)
• Shock upper and lower (bolts 8/9)

And why you are replacing them? Shocks on Acuras lasts for a long time... if they are not sport shocks...

When I rotated the tires in the spring, I found I had a cupped tire. Took it to my tire guy and he said the rear springs/shocks needed replaced to fix the issue. Hence, replacing.

On a related note, I go the right rear apart but I am unable to get the control arm/knuckle bolt hole to line up...any guidance on how to get it to line up is appreciated.

I doubt there is any thing wrong with the coil spring, but I guess its cheap enough to just go ahead & do it.
Just tighten the upper & lower shock bolts and the knuckle to control arm bolts with a 1/2" drive ratchet & socket until they feel good & tight, they are big & tough enough bolts that your not going to hurt them.
Use a 3/8' drive ratchet & socket on the sway bar end links & just get them reasonably tight.
