turbo tie rod torque?
HELP! I did a search and didn't find the torque value I need.
I need the torque value for the castle nut on top of the ball end (hub end) of the tie rod. My Bently manual says 184 ft. lbs. Is this correct? It sounds way high. The car is an SC. |

Ted, I believe the 184 ft lb is for the bottom nut for the ball joints, I seen 33 ft-lbs for the tie rod casle nut as per page 157 of Aug 2004 Excellence Mag. Rebuilding Front End tech article, Jerry
