They are self locking nuts so using new ones is recommended. They are torqued to 32 lbf-ft (4.4 kgf-m / 43N-m)
You might want to double check your specs for the two bolts that connect the RA to the LCA. The shop manual has them at 76 lbf-ft (10.5 kgf-m / 103 N-m)

Give all your bushings a light coat of silicon grease before you install them.

Also make sure to torque them *after* you put the car on the ground so that your bushings don't end up sort of twisted.
