Posts: 788 | RE: Crack in W463 Chassis Frame found 4x4abc - 11/12/2013 8:43 PM interesting that the crack was horizontal, rather than following the contour of the tube the bracket is a stamped steel. the stress fracture followed the original stress from the stamping, which is odd because i thought the frames were heart treated when completed. if the other three bolts were loose, that about sums up what else happened. my only other question would be, was the box replaced at some point or removed for other service, or was it improper from the factory? | ||

This company provides a solution. Maybe development of something similar for the G is in order: http://www.rubberduck4x4.com/shop/h1-hummer/steering/steering-kits-... | ||

Curious, since you don't clarify or explain. The link shows what the part looked like from the factory - don't read further into it. | ||

This website was very helpful for me to shop around and find the part that will be welded in. | ||
