Recently I had to put new wheel bearings in the front put all together have a Torque wrench looked up bolt setting in ft lbs was 203 did this and nut stripped it was a genuine Toyota bolt that cam with the Rav 4 2003 it has only 157000 Komsomol on it so does anyone know the correct ft lbs as the Toyota information is totally wrong

203 ft-lbs is ~275Nm, which is pretty normal for strut-to-knuckle bolts on Toyotas.  When you say "stripped", do you mean the actual thread on the bolt/nut or did the head of the nut get rounded off?

 

Also, what was the condition of the thread before you tried to tighten it up?  Suspension bolts cope some of the worst conditions of any fastener in the car.
