Every clearance, torque figure and adjustment value in this 1993 Lexus GS 300 service and repair manual is tied to this exact year, engine and trim — the 3.0L inline-six (2JZ-GE) as Lexus specified it for 1993 — rather than a number carried over from an adjacent model year that only looks close enough.

Known issues on the 1993 GS 300. One recall is on federal record for this model year, and it covers the front lower control arm ball joints: the spherical portions of certain lower ball joints had finished surfaces that were not smooth, causing friction with the surface of the ball joint cap, and that condition can lead to separation of the ball joint, increasing the potential for a vehicle accident. Owners have filed 7 complaints for the year, and no technical service bulletins are on record. The diagnostic and repair procedures behind that system are here.
From a front suspension inspection to a routine service interval, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 1993 GS 300.
THE SPHERICAL PORTIONS OF CERTAIN LOWER BALL JOINTS HAD FINISHED SURFACES THAT WERE NOT SMOOTH CAUSING FRICTION WITH THE SURFACE OF THE BALL JOINT CAP.
THIS CONDITION CAN LEAD TO SEPARATION OF THE BALLJOINT INCREASING THE POTENTIAL FOR A VEHICLE ACCIDENT.
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE LOWER BALL JOINTS ON THE AFFECTED VEHICLES.
