Good one Carlos, yeah, check that crush cage(if you have one) They FAIL after 50 to 60 years, especially if the shaft has side pressure on it due to steering box angle.

Crush cages need to be very carefully inspected by removing all paint sanding then cleaning well to inspect for even for the slightest hairline crack or what appears to bea simple indentation. I've discovered' two, once driving on to a trailer and it snaped at the stout factory weld, the second time was after a highly spirited drive and pulling into my driveway the crush cage deformed and snapped. Lucky both times... Personally I now "steer" away from crush cage columns on project builds.
