90 g30 bolts to steering box captinhowdy 10-20-2006, 12:02 PM
the bolts to the steering box keep braking.this is the 3ed time i have replaced them.any ideas on why this keeps doing this? i had the frame welded around the holes.it was kracked around all 3 and did not look safe.and put new bolts in at that time. jimoto 10-20-2006, 02:59 PM Are you using the correct bolts, I believe those bolts are grade 8 with washers. Sounds like your van has been wrecked in the past. captinhowdy 10-20-2006, 04:32 PM new grade 8 bolts old washer's.only 1 wreck that i know of.my g20 does not have this problem.it just needs a new box.will do that next week.i need the g30 for work monday rhandwor 01-04-2007, 08:21 PM After you get new bolts installed check your tie rod ends,pitman rod and other parts for wear. If something is excessively worn when it changes direction it will put a lot of additional stress on the steering box. You can block a wheel put it in park and have somebody turn the steering wheel back and forth. Watch with a flashlight. Excessive movement is very apparent.
