Forum member David Farmer has a great website with a link to his torque spec files with just about every torque spec you'll ever need:

I assume you're talking about the jam nut and the spec to torque it down after adjusting toe.
On David's site it says:
HOWEVER.....I just did some work on the front today to get my steering wheel straight. I don't have a torque wrench that will fit on a nut with a tie rod going through it, so I just snugged the jam nuts down good with my calibrated wrist!!
