Thread revival and to clarify, bentley manual seems to state the following for torque values:
Per section 320-13:
Tie rod to steering knuckle: 59 lb ft (vs. 122 lbft stated on page 1)
Tie rod to steering rack(ZF Pentosin CHF 11S):88 lb ft total (vs 100 lbft stated on page 1)
I'm a fan of Robc's diys (though he's moved on unfortunately) but I have to wonder if overtightening is what lead to the meyle hd part failures. If anyone sees different torque specs, I'd like to see them.
