The lug nut torque specifications for the 2008 Toyota Highlander are 80 ft-pounds. It's important to use a torque wrench when installing your wheels to ensure the correct torque. If the wheels are too loose, there's a risk of the lug nuts and wheels falling off while driving. Overtightening can strip the threads on your wheel studs and potentially damage your wheels. Avoid using an impact gun when reinstalling wheels, as it can lead to overtightening. An impact gun is suitable for removing wheels but not for reinstalling them.
In 2008, the recommended lug nut torque for a Toyota Highlander is 11-12 hl.
