This is a common question and there are no traditional torque specs on the inner or outer tie rods. The locking nut that holds the outer tie rod in place just needs to be tight. The castle nut does have a torque spec that holds the outer tie rod to the knuckle which is about 19 foot lbs +/- 3.
Thank you so much! It's almost impossible to find torque specs for Lancers.

Haha. I understand. I used to work at a Chrysler dealership when they worked on Mitsubishi vehicles and that was a common complaint from the mechanics.
Normally they put them into the drawings or diagrams, and we have access to all of those so if you need other info, please let us know.
Thanks
