This is a good discussion I definitely think Im going to upgrade to a 10.9 fastener with blue locktite. as for tapping it in when you go to reinstall the steering linkage to the firewall it will go into its two studs like halfway and from there I just give it light taps until its all the way in works like s charm. You have to tap the old cylindrical metal bushings into the new steering rack bushing with the old nissan rubber bushing you can push it in with your hands but with a new aluminum
one you need to lightly tap it in. there are four in total two hold the bushings in and the other two slide into the studs on the firewall. The nuts go on easier when your putting it back together because the bushing is sitting against the firewall and the new nuts thread on with little force but when you first loosen them there is a lot of tension perhaps because the bushing is pushing against those nuts when you first loosen them. Perhaps you meant the bearing behind the steering wheel like dont tap it so that bearing does not feel ithe vibration? im talking about the steering wheel bearing right behind the small snap ring.
