Hello Everyone,

Well I think I managed to crack the steering rack mount last weekend after a
spirited drive over the freshly paved 2 mile up and 2 mile down twisty,
rolley-polley, 16 foot wide, several hairpin turn, 17% grade drive up and
over HURRICANE MOUNTAIN ROAD. Great fun!  I even managed to get my 13 inch
big reds hot enough to stink a little on the way down.

The rack us making a creaking noise when I turn in my drive and I can see
the rack move about 1/8 inch at the extremes.  I jacked the front end up and
can see a crack on the right hand side of the lower rack mount bolt.  WHat
is the best way to fix this problem.  I remember seeing a few posts a while
ago that said welding the crack is not good enough.  Any help out there?

Thanks

Jack
