sterring box wiggle

[vw62rag]

the other day my rig was parked with the motor running and my girl was turning the steering wheel back n forth, i was under looking at the steering box and it was kinda moving? is this normal? i thought maybe the bolts were loose, so i tryed to tighten them, and they were tight? i looked around the frame and i didnt see any cracks? what up with this?
thanks

sounds like cracked frame or the bolt holes have ovaled out a little bit.

Might as well remove it now before it falls completely off like mine did.

remove it and do what? what if there is no cracks? i mean it dont move a hole lot but i thought they shouldnt move at all, maybe im wrong.is there a upgrade kit or something? i thought i heard of something like that before

They have what you need. I think Tim also sells them, not sure anymore?(84ChevyK10) It should not move at all. Take it off the frame and inspect it. You probably have a crack somewhere you cannot see. If it is cracked buy the weld in repair kit and the brace kit! That way it won't happen again /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

Yes I do still sell them, I happen to have two of them left, one for 70s trucks, the other for 80s.

Not sure if I'm going to buy any more after these two sell off, but I am a dealer for the product.
