Anyone know what the torque specs are for rear tie rod ends? Car is stock and it's a GT if it matters. I took it apart to replace a drive axle boot that was torn. I've already searched the forum and didn't find an answer in the archives. Thanks.

You can download the Pontiac service manual from fieronews.net for free. Just FYI.

Ah crap, I didn't know about that. It's pretty sad that the whole Fiero community had to suffer because of one douchebag.

I'll look up the torque spec when I get home.

edit to add: the only torque spec I see for the rear toe link rods is 30-39 ft-lb for the outer nut. It doesn't say anything about the inboard nut. So I'm guessing it's the same?
