WHILE PERFORMING ROUTINE MAINTENANCE, WE NOTICED THAT THE WELDS THAT ATTACH THE STEERING GEAR MOUNT BRACKET TO THE FRAME RAIL ARE RUSTING AND SEPARATED IN PLACES. THE BRACKET FLEXES AND WOBBLES WHEN THE WHEEL IS TURNED. IF THAT BRACKET BREAKS LOOSE, THERE WOULD BE A TOTAL LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL. VERY DANGEROUS! *TR
