What's this bolt?

Anyone with a 16 series Mahindra have this bolt sticking out as well? Perhaps it's a fill indicator but I just noticed this. Doesn't seem to tighten much so I do not want to force the issue w/o knowing if it's supposed to be.

What a knuckle head I can be. Of course I forgot to remit the picture.

Acts as a stopper for the steering knuckle.

Yep, it sets the maximum steering angle. since you moved it, measure the other side and set it the same.

You can see where it contacts the stop here.

Of course! and me being a knuckle head should have recognized a fellow knuckle. Thanks guys.

What's that bolt? That's the loose nut behind the wheel...

Very loose Dave, very loose. One would never think I used to build funny car engines. Gosh I'm loosening more and more each year. A half intelligent orangutan could have figured this one out. The scary part is I have a slight recollection of knowing what that bolt was for and simply looked at it again a couple days ago and forgot.
