Tie rod torque settings.

Hi all. Despite lots of googling I am struggling to find an absolute torque wrench setting for x5 40d 2011. Found everything from 51-80nm for the nut on tie rod end or track rod end ball joint.

Can anyone help please. GT

When I replaced mine, I got the info from TIS.

Thank you. I have done 51nM. It didn’t feel tight enough, but it looks like it is.

Much appreciated. GT
