Problem for Lexus 2000 ES 300

I'm in the process of replacing the front struts




By wpwren on Oct 30, 2009

" "
I'm in the process of replacing the front struts on my wife's 2000 Lexus ES300. I'm looking for torque values for the three nuts at the top of the strut tower and for the two down the bottom of the strut.

If possible, I need the same info for reinstalling ball joints.

Thank you

  1. Install or connect the following:
    • Spring seat. Tighten the new upper strut retaining nut to 36 ft. lbs. (49 Nm).
  2. Remove the strut from the vise and disassemble the securing nuts and bolt.
  3. Rotate the upper support so the lowest bolt on the support aligns with the projection part of the lower spring.
  1. Install or connect the following:
  2. Strut and tighten the strut to body bolts to 59 ft. lbs. (80 Nm).
  • Strut to the steering knuckle and tighten the bolts to 156 ft. lbs. (211 Nm).
To install:
  1. Install the lower ball joint onto the steering knuckle and tighten nut to 90 ft. lbs. (123 Nm). Install new cotter pin.
