Probably the upper bolts for drum brake backing plate.
About four and a half ugga duggas. With blue Locktite.

The steering knuckle upper bolts are the attaching bolts for the backing plate with a drum brake knuckle. These are specified at 55 foot-pounds.
The steering knuckle lower bolts are the attaching bolts for the lower ball joint to knuckle for disk brakes and lower ball joint to knuckle plus backing plate for the drum brake knuckle. The disk brake knuckle bolts are specified at 160 foot-pounds and the drum brake knuckle bolts are specified at 100 foot-pounds.
The caliper adaptor mounting bolts for the disk brake knuckle are specified at 75-100 foot-pounds.

A friend worked in a BMW dealership. He was doing something that required the transmission to be seperated from the engine. On reassembly he broke an ear off of the transmission, he asked he's manager what he should do. Manager said send it!
oh my friend... my sweet summer child... that is the way of the sword at dealers.
