Read evidence and context

Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that performed work without a confirmed outcome: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

So far I have not found a definite value for the two M10 bolts tightening the steering rack to the subframe.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

After discovering a slight crack in the front subframe i changed the frame, now I need to torque it all up to specs.. So far I have not found a definite value for the two M10 bolts tightening the steering rack to the subframe. One value I found is 47NM and another is 65NM. Anyone know for sure? Thanks in advance!

POST 2Original post

You should buy an electronic shop manual on eBay. It has all the torque values and also complements the 101 Projects and Bentley DIY guides beautifully.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I torqued it to 47 NM and added thread locker. Felt fine :-)

POST 4Original post

My factory manual, which does not have recent updates, shows 65 Nm / 48 lb-ft.

Updates typically go for more torque than less

Excellent, thanks! I re-torqued to 65NM, actually felt more reasonable than 47.
