I then use an oxy torch to heat the box and tube and apply rosin core solder to the joint. It doesn’t take very much solder. <div class="">When you think about it, after it cools there is little or no stress on the joint. The box is bolted to the chassis with 3 big bolts. The column is clamped to the brace on the bulkhead and there is (or should be) a brace on the side from the column clamp to the A pillar area. Turning the steering wheel does not put any stress on the column. Having said that, if the column is bent, or if the steering shaft is bent, there will be some side pressure on the column and that will be applied to the upper end of the column through the large felt bushing.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""><div apple-content-edited="true" class="">
