I just got in my figs LCA bushings and seems that I have a metal/aluminum black bracing that needs to be removed to gain clearance to the bushings. This bracing looks more heavy duty thant what I have seen in videios. More bolts holding it on, etc.

Does anyone have the torque specc for the bracing around the LCA bushing on a 2024 IS500?

Thanks

Well, I took my torque wrench and systematically increased the torque (tightening the bolts), until they started to move/tighten... looked to be about 46-48 lb/ft... so that is what I went with.

I went with the fig LCA bushines/80's b/c I didn't want any NVH, etc., and I can tell the car rides just a smidge firmer to me, and the steering is a little more sharp..
.
I also noticed under the car that the inside of the front tires 'shoulder' was a little more rounded off than the outside and there seem to be more 'scuffing'.. not enough that I would say they are worn a lot more on the inside, but seems like it would go that way.... so hopefully these LCA bushings prevent inside tire wear, which is why I put them on.
