FYI: Torque Specs for the 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL Steering Related Components

I'm assuming that all of these torque values are good for 19s and 20s as well?

My upper ball joint castle nuts were finger tight too...

great info, but what would make it even better is if it listed the size of the nuts and bolts. One thing I found out last night is that for the drag link, tire rod, and track bar you need deep well sockets.

My question is rear lower control arm front bolts ft. lbs. so which one is the right torque
74 or 50 ?

Neither. The correct way to read that chart is you torque it to 74 ft. lbs. and then continue for another 50 degrees of rotation.

I don't have the correct tools to know that I've turned the fastener another 50 degrees. What I have done is research aftermarket websites (such as Synergy, Rock Krawler, etc.) and found most aftermarket parts suppliers list 190 ft. lbs. for front and rear lower control arms. That's what I go with.
