Hi Guys... need some help. On my Landcruiser Amazon.
When I turn the steering to the extreme left or right I hear a clank which sounds like metal against metal. This happens especially when turning extreme and going over a bump or pothole. My mechanic says that a rubber cap has worn out on a particular point. Here's the picture where the cap is supposed to be (circled in red) and the circle in green shows the place where it's hitting against.
He says the solution is just to grease this part... but the grease wears off in a week or so...
Does anyone know what this cap is and where I can get them from - or a part number, etc?

Oops - can't seem to attach an image.

I believe it is the Bolt Round Hexagon (steering knuckle stopper) 43211G.  My mechanic says that there is some sort of a rubber bush on this bolt which eventually wears out.

Well, cheap enough to replace anyway (I wish all problems were as cheap to repair  ).

Well... I'm not missing the part...

Can anyone confirm if this stopper has some sort of a rubber or plastic cap?

Thanks.
