That looks like the spacer for the 2 bolts in the fender by the door at the bottom...Just a guess. At least that's where I put them.

Yeah, I got 1!!!

Is it more like a clunking, grinding, rubbing at full lock? If so it may be the stops rubbing...does this happen all the time, or only when on uneven turns at full lock?

If it is your steering stops you could put some lithium or anti-sieze on the stops landing area. The part that the adjustable bolt smacks into.
