steering box comes loose ever week...how to fix
So what do you think? The nuts that screw onto the bolts that go through frame rail work their way loose every week. The frame rail is cracked. Should i just weld the bolts onto the frame and reinforce the frame, or is this the sign of another problem I am not seeing.

When you're done repairing the frame, get yourself a "wonderbar"(power steering brace). They're supposed to help prevent stress in that area.
