I was looking through my Haynes and couldn't find an answer, or even the part.

I replaced the castle nut and cotter pin on my passenger side tie-rod. Although, I don't think it's called "tie-rod" in the book. I couldn't find any sort of torque spec for it.

I was thinking about 25-30ft lbs. Is this right? Any Idea what the rod is actually called? Center Link? Drag Link?

Truck is 76 F250 4x4. Had Ram-Assist but the ram doesnt work, so it's manual steering for now.

 

they go by inner and outer tie rod and drivers, passenger.

So outer passenger tie rod.

 

Well, I know it's the outer tie rod, but there's nothing in this Haynes manual. That's what I am trying to figure out.

I guess the Haynes I have is technically a "first edition" It's Haynes 788. So I'm wondering if this is why it's lacking the right information.
