Torque Wrenches 200 87

I have two torque wrenches, one is 20-250 inch lbs., the other 10-100 ft. lbs., which is the one I use the most. I do not have any torque wrenches over 100 ft. lbs. I was going to get one from 50-250 ft.lbs. After looking over the torque applications for both our Volvos and Toyota, I did not find any pressing need for spending $100-$200 for another torque wrench. Most of the Volvo stuff over 100'lbs. involves a lower torque, followed by using a torque angle meter, which I have. I wonder if any other vehicles I might own someday will require much torquing over 100. I am not sure if I made the right decision or not. The apps listed for torques over 100 ft.lbs are as follows:

Volvo -

Trans. drive flange to output shaft, 130' lbs.

Rear axle pinion flange nut 148-184' lbs.

Toyota -

Front axle camber 105' lbs

Rear axle wheel bearing lock nut, 137' lbs.

Steering knuckle and shock absorber 105' lbs.

Axle carrier and shock absorber, 105' lbs.

These are not regular maintenance items out in the open requiring frequent checking are they, or parts that work loose regularly? Torque wrenches over 100 ft lbs. seem unnecessary. But is there something I am not considering here that requires one of these tools.
