I'm looking at steering box braces... one more expense trying to tighten up the steering on my truck. It seems all of them replace the nut under the pitman arm with an extension which engages a bearing... a high quality ball bearing.
Most units bridge frame rail to frame rail, claiming to stiffen the chasis by so doing. One product mounts entirely to the driver's side & claims that the frame naturally flexes & the bridge designs can put undesireable pressure on the steering box internal components... they also do extreem off-roading which I don't. There are differences in designs & also thickness of materials...
