I was loosening out the drivers side steering stop bolt (passenger tire rubbing on hard right turns), so that it would no longer rub. However, it just seemed like the bolt was the only thing sitting in there. I cant remember last time I adjusted them if there was a nut on the bolt at all, or does it just sit there? Seems like it would vibrate itself loose maybe? Did I lose something here, or are they all just the bolt by itself?

OK..welllllll...upon further inspection, the passenger side had the bolt and a washer and nut on the other side--when you tighten the bolt, you then tighten the nut on the other side (boy is that a small space to move in with a wrench) to get the steering bolt in a spot so it wont move. I went to the store and bought another washer and new nutto put on the drivers side which had the bolt only.
If you run only the bolt, it probably wont loosen up and mess up your steering limits (and rub the radius arms as mine was doing), but its good measure to go ahead and get a washer and nut on the 'outward facing' side of the steering bolt just so that its nice and secure and wont shift on you at all....besides, its a very cheap way to get a sense of security.
Thanks for the replies, once again, I am not sure if they are supposed to have the washer and nut 'grasping' onto the bolt, but, I figured for .75 cents it cant hurt to do it...
