Both my 105 cars came to me with similar issues. The crossmember was separating from the subframe front-to-rear pieces, there was cracking around the steering box mounting holes, and the inner fender sheet metal was separating from the subframe front-to-rear piece. check the whole area carefully. Take a look at one of Akitaman's recent huge threads for pics of a steering box reinforcement he's designed. Others, including Jack Beck, sell kits of reinforcing gussets to beef up the area.

Good luck-
