If you mean the large hex nut on that stud? It is the connection point for jump starting the car. Never go direct to the battery with jump leads. The positive connector is covered by a plastic shield,

Tony had it nailed...
It should also be noted here that the positive point cover is usually missing, however a red cap off a camping butane can fits perfectly...:thumbsup:
As seen here...

These terminals are v handy for trickle charging.
That little cap is a great idea, the standard job isn’t a good solution at all.
Yes in fact we sell them, and have good stock.
So for a limited time offer, for the price on your screen you get a positive aftermarket jump terminal cap.
But wait there is more !. Order now and I'll send you second one absolutely free, just pay separate postage and handling.
If not completely satisfied with your purchase, return it in a box with at least one brick, using good sticky tape and a two page essay as to why you want to return our premium product, for a full refund minus postage.
We also sell bricks, many different varieties and colors available. Inquiries welcome. =)).

Just aside from the main question. In the first picture posted by Rodders67 the top of the suspension leg is off set towards the rear of the tower. In the second picture posted by ExMX5owner it is central in the tower as mine are. Why would this be?

They look like they are in the same place to me, maybe camera angle ??. I was standing at the side of my car...
