Sorry to hear the wife's been ill. Hope she's back on her feet soon!!!


That was scary having the steering fasteners break like that. Did they break while the truck was stationary and you were turning the steering wheel?
Or was the truck rolling?

It really doesn't matter I guess.. those bolts just cannot break! Lives depend on so many parts every day. Glad to know you're still with us! 8-)

Yeah, it would not have been good.

Thanks Mike. The doctor said it could be a month or longer before the swelling goes down and the pain goes away. Doesn't sound like any fun to me.

The truck was stationary and I was turning the wheel when they broke. I still can't believe they broke. After thinking about it, I should have known they aren't ARP studs. If they were, they would say it on the end and have a hex recessed in them to turn them in. These are probably just some cheap junk. I've had them too long to try to go after the seller so it's a lesson learned. Hopefully the studs come out of the knuckle without a fight............ Right Haha
