Fitment on this one is exact: the 1991 Lexus ES 250 service and repair manual is tied to the 2.5L V6 (2VZ-FE) and the trim your car was built as, so the clearances, torque figures and service intervals it gives are the ones Lexus published for the 1991 ES 250 and not values carried over from an adjacent year.

Known issues on the 1991 ES 250. One recall is on federal record for this model year, and it lands on the suspension: certain front strut mounts sold as replacement equipment did not contain a weld joint between the bearing housing and the rate plate, and the absence of that weld can allow the strut to come out of its mounting position under certain extreme driving conditions, which could cause damage to surrounding vehicle components, increasing the risk of a crash. Owners have filed 14 complaints for the year, and no technical service bulletins are on record. The diagnostic and repair procedures behind that system are here.
Whether the job is a front strut mount inspection or a scheduled service interval, it holds you to the OEM procedure and the correct specification for this 1991 ES 250.
RIDE CONTROL IS RECALLING CERTAIN FRONT STRUT MOUNTS BRANDED AS GABRIEL RIDE CONTROL OR ARVINMERITOR, P/NOS. 142435, 142193, 142305, 142303, SOLD AS REPLACEMENT EQUIPMENT FOR THE VEHICLES LISTED ABOVE. THE AFFECTED FRONT STRUT MOUNTS DID NOT CONTAIN A WELD JOINT BETWEEN THE BEARING HOUSING AND THE RATE PLATE.
THE ABSENCE OF THE WELD CAN ALLOW THE STRUT TO COME OUT OF ITS MOUNTING POSITION UNDER CERTAIN EXTREME DRIVING CONDITIONS WHICH COULD CAUSE DAMAGE TO SURROUNDING VEHICLE COMPONENTS INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
RIDE CONTROL WILL NOTIFY OWNERS OF RECORD AND REPLACE THE AFFECTED PARTS FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON MARCH 15, 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT RIDE CONTROL AT 1-248-458-1396.
