Could anyone provide me with the torque value for the Tie Rod Arm bolts for that you loosen for adjusting the tie rods? I got an alignment set up tomorrow at an indy allignment shop and the guy did not know the tie are torque value last time.

I think it's 25Nm, but I don't have any objective evidence that's correct.

It's 40Nm and the manual call for replacing the bolt.

Clack clack clack on the 3/8 electric impact. Whatever torque that is. I adjust them all the time and never replace the bolt but have two spare bolts in my tool box at the track.
