I think what caused greater stress on the steering box against the rail was the fact that I got rid of my stock 245 tires (and wheels) and put on 17" wheels with 275 tires. Any wonderbar is better than none, as in your case, but because I already had problems occur with the stock wonderbar in place I wanted to get a bigger one.

OK Ted, I didn't know the past situation. I'am quite surprised that your STOCK bar gave up, but the larger wheels and tires must REALLY put a load on that piece. I guess if you have the stock WS6 suspension, the bar should work OK, but for most of the people that have upgraded to 17" wheels and tires I guess they are in for a world of trouble down the road.
