    Looks like a tensioner knob. Couldn't say what for other than the steering maybe. Anymore pics showing the location?

    THIS^^^ tensioner knob for the steering.

    So I've read 2 or 3 comments here in the last few minutes where someone asked a question and out of a couple dozen comments, maybe two tried to be helpful. Why is that? Do all the stupid comments make people somehow feel better about themselves? I just don't see the point. If you don't have a meaningful reply, why not just move on. I am lead to believe that a lot of guys really do over-estimate how witty they are.

    I kinda agree most people when asking a question want an honest answer or at least one that will help answer the original question ,not some smart ass comment but it is how the world turns I guess ...lol

    It is obviously a built in question generator...and it appears to be functioning properly.

    You did just comment on the thread with no answer, so you aren't really being helpful either.

    The first comment stated it correctly so all fun and games after that.

    These are honest answers. They really think it’s what they replied. So take it as it is. (Ejector seat button)
