Default Steering rack torque specs?

Need to torque steering rack. Found spec sheet but it's not obvious to me what they call the ends of the rack. Below is the part I need to torque and below that are the two pages of torque specs. If someone could tell me what that part is called and of course the torque spec I would appreciate it....

If what your referring to is the nut on top of the link from thr rack to the upright, then it is 22 ftlbs and rotate 120* after reaching this torque
You can buy a degree wheel to fit your wrench.
