    Hi everyone

    Tried searching the forum but couldn't find the info i needed, Just fitting some new rear tie rods to my F430 and wondered what the torque figure should be for the 3 bolts that attach it to the car (i circled on this picture)

    Thanks in advance!

    25nm. If you're unlucky the thread inserts can come loose. If so glue back in with string thread lock.

    Thanks all! Job done, all went smoothly.... except.... Just putting the wheels back on, and torquing the wheels and my torque wrench broke! sending me face first into the side of my car - unbelievable!

    That is almost uncanny timing. A customer sent me this picture yesterday. :(

    It seems worse than it is. Tell customer not to worry :)

    I was supposed to write 'strong threadlock'.
