I searched and couldnt find an answer. In the S13 in the engine bay there is a steering shaft or rod that connects to the power steering rack using splines and at the firewall it connects to the interior steering column with two nuts. What thread pitch are those nuts? Asking because my nuts seem to have damaged threads and gives a lot of resistance when screwing back onto the stud. Two of the threads on the stud look smushed/crossthreaded the rest are fine. Its weird because when I removed these nuts originally to install my solid steering shaft bushing they were very tight to remove I had to have someone hold the steering wheel. My guess is maybe they were crossthreaded by someone very slightly or by the factory? I was gonna buy new nuts to remedy this issue and possibly run a die over the first two - three threads on the stud to clean the threads the rest of the threads look perfect.
