Steering rack torq spec

dlr944 · 03-31-2014, 11:26 PM

After removing the steering rack for down pipes can anyone provide the torque spec for the two steering rack bolts? 2007 335i coupe.

56NM + 90 deg

The bolts are aluminum and single use. MUST REPLACE WITH NEW ONES.

Interesting. Lot of people have installed down pipes and provided diy but have not seen these are torque to yield bolts?

Are you certain this the proper method for the two bolts holding the steering rack onto the front cross member?

Anyone?

Yes this is straight from the Bentley manual. The bolts have blue paint on the head which confirms.
