The inners get tightened to 74 foot pounds with clean threads coated in Red Loctite 262, but be sure to hold the rack itself for both removal and reinstallation of the inner rod ends.
For the outers the nuts are torqued to 34 ft lb, plus 120 degrees.

Hello, I'm Danny.
Here is the information you requested. The inner tie rod end connects to the rack and pinion with a jam nut. Here is a tutorial showing how to replace tie rods:

I've attached picture steps below on how to replace the tie rod ends including the torque specifications on your car. After performing this repair you will need a front end alignment for the toe setting. Hope this helps and thanks for using 2CarPros.
