I think he's talking about the steering bump stops,
which is why the turning radius of the 5.5 gen sucks so much.

lol but heck, who knows...

That could be what they are, do they have any sort of threads on them?

just take a picture already or find a pic of a max with it's wheel off and show us what you mean...
lots of things have threads on them.

well that's impossible. It has to be connected to something to even be there :P

I still vote bump stops. they're threaded and have an end cap on them

it is the steering bump stop. It's threaded because a little plastic cap screws onto it to prevent metal-on-metal contact on the LCA at full lock.

The little plastic bumpstop pieces are a couple bucks at the dealer.

/thread. Let me know if you want to post pics and I will reopen the thread, but that is definitely what you're talking about.
