Gladiator Factory Torque Values

These are OEM Factory Torque Values out of a manual for the Jeep Gladiator. They should be good for 2019-2023. There were some changes to the 2024 model and those numbers are NOT reflected here.
I didn't create this, someone else copied from a purchased service manual and hosted this on the web, he no longer hosts the files.
These are copies of the .jpeg's they created.

I am looking at the torque specs chart, it says the the front LCA to frame, in foot pounds, is 103 +145 degree, and the rear LCA to frame is 111 +65 degree.
I'm also looking at a another Jeep Gladiator chart that says front LCA to frame is 190 ft lbs. and the rear LCA to frame is 185 ft lbs.
Is there a conversion in there, that I'm missing?
Not sure what the +145 degree or +65 degree in this chart means, and why such a difference in foot pounds.
Can you help me out?

Means you torque to 103 foot pounds then go 145 degrees past that point. People come up with what they think it means hence the 190 etc. from the factory it’s the 103 plus the 145. Follow that.

This ^^^

The 190 torque value is based on bolt grade/size/thread pitch. And technically speaking, ALL bolts are normally rated this way.

Also, the high value is based on factory clevite bushings as the crush collar NEEDS to stay put. As in, it MUST clamp tightly enough to not rotate in the mount as this will allow the rubber bushing to twist/work properly. Non-clevite bushing such as Johnny Joints do not require this crazy high torque setting.
