stops- A small piece of rubber or plastic is mounted to the lower
control arm or on the steering knuckle that acts as a door stop for the
wheel radius. The steering stop will not allow the wheel to turn
beyond the recommended turning radius. I included this picture
because I receive a few emails each month with complaints of a loud
creaking noise when the steering wheel is turned all the way in one
direction. The metal steering stops can become rusty and make a
creak noise when the opposing stop makes contact. The solution to
the noise is to apply a thin layer of grease on the stops.
