    28ft lbs for the bolts and 32ft lbs for the ball joint

    That's 28 for the bolt that attaches to the body and 32 for the nut/cotter pin on the control arm right (with the ball joint)?

    thats correct. You can exceed the torque on the balljoint if need be to line up the hole for the cotter pin but don not loosen the nut to align the holes, always go to the next hole, never go back.
