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.
Here is a guide that will help with this:

Also, I am attaching all the info below that will walk through testing the tie rods and includes all specs on them.
Please run through this info and let me know what questions you have.
