We've been over the steering stops before...I think they do...from seeing them on our car...
In any case, I don't think the "ping" is a steering stop...and I don't think it's a "transmission bolt" - I think that there was a recall or TSB on axle bolts (at teh wheel hub...) that fixed this...the OP may be confusing the issue by calling them transmission bolts...but I think new axle bolts will fix the "ping"...the full-lock in the car park puts the most strain on that outer CV joint and when it straightens, you get the metallic, high-pitched "ping"...
