I noticed, while installing mine, that it was easy for the strut rod to move to the side and to end up torquing the nut onto the bearing instead of the race. I had my hand tight and noticed that the bearing was just starting to bind. I loosened the nut, re-centered and tried again. This time there was no binding. I only have a few miles on mine, but so far so good.

Can you feel the noise in the steering wheel?
