Default Oddly Shaped Nuts
Does anyone know what the hex nut is for on the right side of the steering column? It's under a small plastic cap, which looks like it can be pried off with a screwdriver or a fingernail.

there should be a nut on the left side too. The nuts are for the airbag module mount. Be careful with these as they have a specific torque spec.

btw..they are torx bolts so you will need a torx driver.

They are actually not supposed to be equal in size, but odd shaped, huh?
