What to torque the Tie Rod End nuts to?
I need a Service Manual! Anywho, somebody know what in-lb to torque'em? I got ones with a zerk fitting, grease after installing I assume? Where can I buy a service manual?

Tie-Rod end castle nuts - 35ft/lbs (420in/lbs) plus up to 1/6 additional turn, or 52 ft/lbs (624 in/lbs) maximum, to allow cotter pin to be inserted.
You can get a service manual from Checkers, Autozone, etc or do a search on the internet for a 'Haynes Repair Manual' for Chevrolet Camaro/Pontiac Firebird 1993-2002 All Models - it's like $25

Thanks. I would like to get a factory service manual, every Haynes or Chilton I've ever had was full of type-o's in the spec pages. The one for my DSM said to torque my headstuds to 25 ft/lbs and my water pump to 85 ft/lbs! Ha!
