    I'm putting a new dropped axle under my 37 Coupe with new "Perch Bolts" - What are they supposed to be torqued to ?

    I think the tight fit of the wishbone yoke over the axle is more important than the torque on the bolt. Make sure you shim any slop out of the joint, then just tighten the nut to damntight. I wouldn’t think you need reallydamntight.

    It actually had a pretty close fit - so I just did damntight -- Thanks !!
