    Wish bone torque

    I went around the car checking and tightening any lose bolts that I found. I noticed the wish bone bolts to the frame were kind of loose ??? that would explain some of the noise I hear . Would anyone know what the torque spec are for those bolts? Thanks.

    Brammo provided a PDF to an Atom owner which lists almost all of the hardware and torque specs for the US Atom.
    A local copy (PDF format) can be downloaded here.

    Please note the following changes not covered in that document:

    An important addendum to the Brammo table if you have the billet bellcranks:

    The bolt / locknut attaching the shock absorber to the bellcrank arm should be 12 ft/lbs, not the 33 in the table.
    This is due to the thinner locknut supplied.
    The bolt attaching the suspension pushrod end to the bellcrank arm should be 10 ft/lbs as it is going into
    threaded aluminum on the bellcrank. It is kept from turning by the safety wire.

    These numbers are from Jacob at Unique Fabricating.

    Not necessarily. If the bolt and nut are the same size, thread pitch, material and grade it should be the same. I'd try to find out if TMI has a similar spec sheet. Otherwise, this may help...FUTEK Bolt Torque Calculator | Bolt Torque Calculators
