Brand new poster, and newish owner of a 4th gen RX. Did a whole bunch of digging and wasn't able to find the specs for a lot of the maintenance items that I do on my vehicles, and figured that getting them all together with info from a few days of TIS would be helpful to someone other than me.
Look forward to being able to contribute more as I do more!
My manual says "Re-torque nuts and bolts of drive shaft (AWD)" every 18 months or 15,000 miles.
After owning two high mileage AWD RAVA4s and a 1999 AWD RX300 with a 180k on the clock and checking those bolts as required, i think its a waste of time. Never were any of them at any time loose or needed TQed. But, if i don't check them, that will be the time they loosen up.

After numerous searches for torque specs for my drive shaft bolts and nuts I could only find the Lexus NX model numbers. I am not running out tomorrow morning to do the torqueing. Does anybody have these numbers?
Not that concerned about it just want to know. The OP said he would get back but never did.

Totally forgot until I got the email about this reply. My bad.
