The bearing rides on the shaft collar. The tightening of the nut serves to hold the strut in position in the collar. It does nothing to the ride height unless your car sits with the shocks fully extended, which it doesn't...

I'm not even sure the torque number is correct. I'll have to look at the manual to be sure.
