AZ Mike Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Apologies....tried using the search, but with the new search format, I could not seem to limit it to a specific model. I am looking for the manufacturer recommended lug nut torque for a '99 LS. Thanks, and happy Memorial Day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve2006 Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Hi According to the driver's handbook they should be torqued to 103N-m/10.5kgf-m or 76ft-lb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

17LexusOwner Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Their alluminum wheels right? put em at 100 ftlb steel than put em at 90 ftlb or else just take that nifty impact and zap em down till their tight. who cares!!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curiousB Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 I just had to have front rotors machined due to an overzealous tire store employee with his trusty impact wrench. You don't need absolute precision but nut to nut variance should be low. Only way to get that is with a torque wrench. If you use an air wrench then at least use a torque limiter http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/disp...temnumber=92890 (but better to do by hand with torque wrench in my mind).
