Drove the truck home when i bought it 250 miles and was real happy with the steering tight ans drove straight but it seemed like every time I drove it there was more slop in the wheel well now I know why, gotta love some of these PO and there half ass ways..

One nice thing is 4 new bolts will be alot cheaper then a new gear box that I thought I was going to need to buy.

When I bought my truck. One of the bolts was broke off and noticed the box was moving when I turned the steering wheel. I don't understand why people can't do something simple like that the correct way.
