    Whats going on guys.Was hoping y’all can help identifying where these go.

    So I started hearing and feeling something rattling within the steering wheel. I opened up the first panel right behind the left side of the steering wheel and a washer and Allen bolt came out. Any idea what these are for
    or where they go?

    I lost the bolt while cleaning the truck but these are the best pictures I could find of something similar. It has the head of the black bolts but the threaded part of the other bolt.

    I’m just here waiting for the “That’s normal, it’s a truck, just drive it!”

    This actually hasn’t affected the way the truck drives lol. I’m just being paranoid.

    I would be too if a bolt fell out of the steering column. Assuming it’s under warranty I would take it to the dealer
