2007 Toyota Highlander Bolt Sizes & Torque Specs

Lug nut torque is not verified for this summary. Review the cited evidence and exact hardware application before installation.

This page distinguishes source-backed fields, unresolved conflicts and unverified legacy records for the 2007 Toyota Highlander. Match the exact hardware and manual conditions before maintenance. A source for one field does not verify the other specifications.

Toyota and Lexus wheel hardware is often consistent within a platform, but torque, thread and socket details still vary by chassis and model year. Use the exact record above and confirm against the wheel, hub and service manual before buying replacement lug nuts.

Common fastener categories on the 2007 Toyota Highlander

Wheel / lug nut torque and thread spec (covered above)
Brake caliper bracket, mounting, and slide/guide-pin bolts are different fasteners. Confirm the exact axle, application and service-manual specification before reassembly.

Repair guidance for this model year

For 2007 model-year work: Always use a calibrated torque wrench for safety-critical fasteners, and replace lock washers and crush washers on every reassembly.

Tools you will need

Metric and SAE socket set (8mm-22mm plus 1/4"-7/8"), 6-point impact-rated
Calibrated torque wrench (10-150 ft-lbs covers most automotive jobs; add a 0-250 ft-lbs wrench for truck lug nuts)
Breaker bar (24" minimum) for initial loosening
Penetrating oil (PB Blaster or Kroil) for any fastener over 5 years old
Replacement washers, threadlocker, anti-seize, or dry-thread preparation only when the exact service procedure specifies them

Frequently asked questions

What is the lug nut torque on a 2007 Toyota Highlander?

Specification not verified for this lug nut summary. Do not substitute another model year's value.

What socket size do I need for the 2007 Toyota Highlander lug nuts?

Confirm the socket against the actual lug nut; no size is assumed here.

Are the 2007 Toyota Highlander fasteners metric or SAE?

Metric and SAE hardware can both appear on one vehicle, depending on the component and exact application. Use the individually verified field and the actual fastener or service manual rather than inferring a standard from the model year, make or generation. Bolt-head markings can help identify the hardware at the bench.

Other Toyota Highlander years

Same model, different model year — fastener spec may change. Always confirm against the year for your VIN.
