Lexus Fasteners

As with other import vehicles, some 2021-2024 Lexus vehicles feature hub bolts in place of hub studs/nuts to fasten wheels to hubs. If non-compatible fasteners are used, the wheels may loosen and come off. Shops that don’t have experience with wheel bolts need to pay special attention to avoid problems. When replacing wheel-to-hub bolts, several bolt seat styles are available. It is critical to use only wheel bolts that match the requirements of the wheels. Styes that exist include one-piece bolts that feature a spherical seat, bolts with a spherical washer, one-piece bolts with a tapered seat, bolts with a tapered washer and bolts with a flat washer. None of these styles are interchangeable. Do not assume that bolts are interchangeable even if the mating surface shape is the same. Always consult the parts catalog for correct hub bolts for the specific vehicle.
