I don't think you needed to tear it down quite that much to tighten the steering
The steering bearings are 3/16x5/16 for the bottom ones and 1/8x1/4 for the top. That's from the online manual
here. You can replace the plastic nuts with nylon lock nuts from the hardware store. I did that on the upper shock mounts, as well.
