Steering rack bolt toque specs?

musc · 02-18-2015, 03:06 PM

Does anyone know the torque spec for the two E12 bolts that hold the steering rack in place (the two you removed when moving the rack for DP install)? I normally just tighten them up but had some issues with them lately and wanted to see what the actual torque spec was.

Thanks!

56 Nm + 90 degrees. BMW wants you to replace the bolts and nuts as well.
