64 type 1.

i've got 18 ftlbs for the torque spec on the tie rod nuts and between .04\" and .12\" for toe in.

does this sound about right?

VW does not specify a torque limit for the ball stud nuts, but 18 ft/lbs sound about right.
Unladen toe-in is 2-4mm (0.08\"-0.16\")
With maximum permissible weight: 1-3mm (0.04\"-0.12\")
