Everything in this 1994 Lexus ES 300 service and repair manual is tied to the car in your driveway rather than to the model line in general: it is matched to this exact year and to the 3.0L V6 (1MZ-FE) and trim Lexus built behind it, so the clearances, torque figures and service intervals you work to are the ones published for a 1994 ES 300 and not values carried over from an adjacent year.

Known issues on the 1994 ES 300. One recall is on federal record for this model year, and it covers the steering wheel: the steering wheel set nut may not have been sufficiently tightened, causing steering vibration and looseness, and that can result in a loss of vehicle control. Owners have filed 44 complaints for the year, and no technical service bulletins have been issued for it. The diagnostic and repair procedures behind that system are here.
From checking a steering wheel for play to tracing a fault on the 1MZ-FE or working through a scheduled service, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your 1994 ES 300.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES. THE STEERING WHEEL SET NUT MAY NOT HAVE BEEN SUFFICIENTLY TIGHTENED CAUSING STEERING VIBRATION AND LOOSENESS.
THIS CAN RESULT IN A LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL.
DEALERS WILL TIGHTEN THE STEERING WHEEL SET NUT.
