    Rave mistake for tie rod end / ball joint / drag link / track rod torque

    Likely brought up before, though i couldnt find it but has been on other sites, so just leaving record of it:

    Section:

    Steering -> Ball joint - track rod page 57-48

    5. Fit track rod to steering knuckle and tighten nut to 80 Nm (59 lbf.in).

    And

    Steering -> Drag link page 57-50

    6. Fit drag link to steering knuckle and tighten nut to 80 Nm (59 lbf.ft).

    While in:

    Front Suspension -> Bushes - radius arms page 60-40

    4. Fit track rod to steering knuckle. Fit and tighten nut to 125 Nm (92 lbf.ft).

    Also in the Torque wrench settings page 06-10 section it mentions

    Track rod to steering knuckle 125 Nm (92 lbf.ft)


    I went with the smaller value.

    This is not the only mistake. Read my post here.

    I was asked " Is it ignorance or apathy?" I replied "I don't know and I don't care."
