I'm guessing it's just from turning the wheel to hard.

steering stops ?

yes they should and yes they are the steering stops

Wipe a little dap of grease on the stops front and back of the front "axle" and carry on. :P

If you hear a awful creaking and twisting sound when you are full lock on the steering wheel and hit a bump or something then this is what it is. The came with rubber caps but after a while the caps fall of or get worn through. Put a dab of grease in between the contact spots to stop the noise. There should 2 per side. One on the front of the hub and one towards the rear.

Thanks.
