Default Steering box support brace has arrived.

and damn, I'm impressed. well packaged, all the bolts either in a sealed bag or shrink wrapped so loosing anything is near impossible. I took a few pics of it and will post them later. Jr & I are going to do the install between the games or at halftime... priorities you know

I know squat about front end, steering component stuff, so forgive my ignorance, butwhat is this going to accomplish?

prolongs the life of the steering box... a $400+ item if you have to replace it. if you look at the suspension as it flexes, you'll notice that the pitman arm shaft puts a lateral load on the sector shaft coming off the steering box... this will prevent that movement.
