The difference was noticable.


Wider than stock, and modernday tires with added caster-adjustment put some more load on the steeringbox and K-member, which is mainly when any weaklinks in the setup start showing up.


I'd ditch the lockwasher for Loctite exclusively.

Also may need more support around the box mount. When I updated mine, I added three separate pieces around the mount in addition to grinding and redoing several of the stock welds.
