Hazard
The steering gearbox is secured to the crossmember by brackets (right-side of two locations). Improper welding at the bracket joint may cause weld damage when the steering is repeatedly locked or operated at full lock. This can result in abnormal noise, increased steering play, and in worst cases, loss of reliable steering control.

All vehicles: Inspect the bracket weld. Replace the crossmember with a good part if welding is defective.
