Idler arm torque

[Ted K]

Just gone done helping my son work on his E28 535is. We replaced all the steering components. We cannot find a torque for the idler arm. We tightened it down so it would move freely. Anyone one have some help on this?

Lenkführungshebel an VA-Träger M12 85
Spurstangenhebel an Querlenker 93
