On certain vehicles, a part of the bolt securing the steering lock unit (This part is used only when the bolt is fitted, and it is cut off and discarded after the fitting.) is caught in the universal joint of the steering column in manufacturing. If left unfixed, steering may become heavy, and in the worst case steering could become impossible.
