I HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY RV, A LOOSENESS IN THE STEERING, THE STEERING WHEEL CENTER POSITION KEPT CHANGING POSITION AND MOVEMENT IN THE WIND. WHEN I TOOK MY RV IN TO A SHOP FOR ALIGNMENT AND CHECK FOR THESE PROBLEMS, THEY FOUND THE STEERING BOX MOUNTING BRACKET FLEXED AN UNSAFE AMOUNT AND A SMALL CRACK HAD ALREADY FORMED ON THE REAR UPPER PORTION. I TOOK IT TO A TRUCK REPAIR, WE FOUND THAT THE INTERNAL BRACE FOR THE MOUNTING BRACKET WAS NOT WELDED EVERY WHERE IT SHOULD BE. THEY WELDED THE INTERNAL BRACE AND THE CRACK AND AN ADDITIONAL BRACE INSTALLED. *TR

THE BRACKET SUPPORTING THE STEERING BOX SHOWS SIGNIFICANT FLEX WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED. I AM AFRAID THAT CRACKING AND SUBSEQUENT FRACTURE WILL EVENTUALLY OCCUR. *TR
