You haven't said what the box is in or if it has a solid or u-jointed conneection to the streeing shaft. The solid connected units are well known for cracking the steering box (seach this BBfor other posts) because of the load put onto the box by the moment arm of the shaft and the flexing of the chassis.a quick note here, my steering box is cracked, not broken.. can i just clamp it togeather and cut a 'v ' notch( not all the way thru, just enough to get a good weld in there) in the crack and weld it up?, the crack is only 2" long..
