| Propeller shaft to differential companion flange || M10 × 1.25, 30 mm bolt || All (turbo) || 39–44 || 29–33 || Size [1]; torque FSM PD-30, PD-31 [7]
|-
| R200 drive pinion nut || M20 × 1.5 prevailing-torque nut || not stated || 186–294 || 137–217 || Size: forum, G-E 2014-08-12 [2]; torque FSM PD-31 [7]
|-
| Differential cover (rear cover) bolts || M8 × 1.25, 25 mm || All || 16–24 || 12–17 || Size [1]; torque FSM PD-31 "Rear cover fixing bolt" [7]
|-
| Differential mount to body — bolt || M10 × 1.5, 60 mm || All || 29–39 || 22–29 || Size [1]; torque FSM PD-31, RA-24 "Mounting insulator / mounting bracket to body — Bolt" [7][10]
|-
| Differential mount to body — nut || M12 × 1.25 nut || All || 59–78 || 43–58 || Size [1]; torque FSM PD-31, RA-24 "… to body — Nut" [7][10]
|-
| Differential carrier to crossmember (suspension member) || M12 × 1.25, 25 mm (150 mm) bolt || All || 59–78 || 43–58 || Size [1]; torque FSM PD-31, RA-24 [7][10]
|-
| Differential to bracket || M14 × 1.5/2.0 stud, M14 × 1.5 nut || All || — || — || Size [1]. Possibly the FSM's "Rear cover to mounting insulator" (PD-31: 88–118 N·m, 65–87 ft-lb) or "Differential carrier to mounting insulator" (RA-24: 98–118 N·m, 72–87 ft-lb). The two FSM tables differ, so neither is paired here.
|-
| Drive shaft (half-shaft) to companion flange || — || 1987 || Turbo 59–69; non-turbo 39–49 || Turbo 43–51; non-turbo 29–36 || FSM RA-24; PD-31 lists the same values as "Drive shaft to rear axle" [10][7]
|-
| Rear wheel bearing lock nut (axle nut) || — || 1987 || 294–392 || 217–289 || FSM RA-24 [10]
