hi guys a few questions, my main balljoint on the steering spindle is kaput so since the wheel hub is old as well Im going to change them out together.

1. Does anyone have the list of torque specs? please?
2. The castle nuts for the various arms, should you use locktite on them?
3,. The bolts that hold the hub to the spindle, do you use locktite on them?
4. Is 91552-G1240 the part number for the bolts that secure the hub to the spindle? is not rusted out too badly are they safe to reuse?
5. if the parts were easier to get i would not be asking this question, but are the various castle nuts safe to reuse?
6. I have
90171-12012 as the castle nut for the 2 upper arms. And on the bottom the same part to hold the sway bar end link in place and 90171-14014 to hold the other 2 arms on the bottom.

is there anything I need to know to ensure this is done correctly?

Thanks guys

If needing hubs and ball joints, might be best to get the knuckles. Although not shown in the diagrams, I believe the hubs and ball joints are included in the assembly: https://www.discountpartsmonster.com...IFJlc3VsdHM%3D

No it does not come with the wheel hub/bearing you wish for under 400 lol

i got mine locally new prob last one in this country for 290 USD. Everything else needed to be ordered from abroad and cost 100-200 more than what 1 paid.

the wheel hub and bearing I’m going with koyo which should be 100-150 usd.

Yeah silly me, what was I thinking, that the hub would be included at that price!? LMAO
However, I do recall someone here buying OEM knuckles that did include the ball joints already pressed in. Found pics and diagrams here: https://www.lexuspartsnow.com/parts/...201-59045.html https://parts.lexus.com/p/Lexus__/St...320159045.html

Dang, I didn't notice at first yours has the ball joint too. Maybe I shouldn't have drank so much cough syrup before posting on the interwebs.....

No need for loctite on castle nuts, so long as the cotter pins are secured properly. And okay to reuse castle nuts if they thread on properly and are not damaged. For the others, I would torque them to proper specs and not use any loctite.
