Hello,
I'm the new guy here. I was wondering if you guys could help provide me with some torque specs for my 2004 Cavalier. My friend and I are replacing the tie rods (inner and outer) on my car and I can't seem to find the torque specs for those parts. I would buy the service manual but I don't have time for it to get here so I was hoping for some quick answers.
Thanks in advance!
Cody Smith

Dude is this Cody Smith from York County, PA area?

Go to a local advance/autozone and snoop through one of the service manuals they have for our car on the shelf and find the info you need and put it back

Nope, not me. But thanks for the tip!

That's great, there's a guy by me with a cavalier with the same exact name. But yeah that's what I've always done until I just bit the bullet and bought the dang book lol

I have never torqued tie rods to spec in my life. However, according AllData, specs are as follows:

Inner: 74 ft. lb.
Outer ball stud nut: 33 ft. lb.
Jam nut: 55 ft. lb.
