Put your car in neutral, ebrake off, jack up one rear tire (probably chalk a front tire or two ) , put a 32mm socket on your torque wrench and put that on the axle nut. set your torque wrench to 10 , see if it *clicks* up to 15, keep repeating until you can spin the wheel with out hitting the torque the wrench is set to. It sounds like the rear diff should maybe be at 40-45 foot pounds .. (looking at an IWSTI post) where the guy says he put in thicker plates that promise 10% over stock and he's at 50.
