2006 Lexus GS300 AWD Front Suspension Torque Specs
Hi,
I tried searching but couldn't find any torque specs for my exact model.
Does anyone have the torque specs for the front suspension components on a 2006 Lexus GS 300 AWD?
Front shocks, upper control arms
Thanks,
SC

Upper control arms @ body - 36 ft-lbs
Steering knuckle @ upper control arm - 64ft-lbs
Lower shock bracket @ shock absorber - 116 ft-lbs
Lower arm bracket @ no.1 lower suspension arm - 83 ft-lbs
Lower ball joints to steering knuckle - 120 ft-lbs
Top strut nuts (mounting to body) - 49 ft-lbs
Piston rod nut (top of the strut assembly) 21 ft-lbs
Generally we torque the last 2 when the car is on the ground. Make them hand tight when the car is in the air and then once the suspension settles under the weight of the car, torque them.
The lower stuff, generally we just send it home with a few ugga duggas in the shop.
EDIT - added uppers. let me know if you need any other torque specs I can look them up easily

Hi R_Rated, would you happen to have access to the torque specs for the front and back struts on a 2006 rwd Lexus GS300? If you only have access to AWD it'd also be helpful to know the specs for the rear struts still. In any case, thank you, appreciate any information you have.
looks like 49 ft. lbs, i doubt the rear would be different
