Re: Cracked Frame & Crossover Steering
I have an all steel passenger side steering arm, Im just thinking abount connecting it to the knuckle with more than the 4 studs. Burt, I borrowed a picture of yours to show what Im thinking. (I know its the wrong side, but you get the idea).

After market knuckles made by Reid Racing use a fifth hole in the knuckle: http://www.reidracing.biz/DANA60.php I've never had one come off, if I lock tight them and do the preventative maintenance. I'll go with Reid knuckles when I break my stockers... Frame cracking is common with the push pull type steering found on our stock 4x4 trucks. It's allot of force that causes bump steer. If the bolts on the frame loosen, it's more of a problem. As indicated, crossover steering can certainly help that, as does correct steering geometry. Most frame crack happen when the steering linkages bind. Overall, what size tire are you running? What sort of wheeling do you do? Do you have a steering maintenance program?

 .Just like everything 4x4, you break it, you fix it better and so on... As far what kind of wheeling? I probably wheel it harder that most "full size-ers", but Im not some throttle jockey thrasher either. I respect my equiptment and know its limits and rarely go beyond them. Like I said its all for fun. Check out this video, you'll see what kind of wheeling I do. Theres some good shots of me about 2 minutes in. Thanks everyone for thier input! You guys all kick-ass.

Re: Cracked Frame & Crossover Steering
Lookin Good
??for you?? Did your rig come with any type of plate INSIDE of the frame were your steering box bolts up? Mine did, it's rivited to the frame with factory rivits. That pic above I posted of my front axel you can see the thick plate on the inside of the frame were the box bots on. Just curious..wondering if I need to keep an eye on my core support too????
