While applying an ultrasonic vibration to a housing 7 and/or a bearing
sleeve 8, the outer peripheral surface 8d of the bearing sleeve 8 is
press-fitted into the inner peripheral surface 7c of the housing 7 with a
predetermined interference, and is welded thereto. During the
press-fitting, the region of the inner peripheral surface 7c of the
housing 7 coming into contact with the bearing sleeve 8 is melted or
softened by the action of the ultrasonic vibration, so that, as compared
with a case in which only press-fitting is conducted, the requisite
press-fitting force at the time of press-fitting can be substantially
reduced.
