Default Drive Shaft Flange Bolts

Does anyone know where the drive shaft flange bolts located on 2000 RX 300 FWD? What is the torque specification?

That is correct, only 4WD have the flange bolts to torque.

That's what I thought. It just made me wonder when I brought my car to a Lexus dealership for 30,000 mile service, they indicated on the receipt they re-torqued the flange bolts. The manual also indicates to re-torque the bolts every 5000 mile, but didn't specify it's only for AWD RX's.

Go back and tell them whoever re-torqued those bolts stole your drive shaft and you need it back!
