Gulp.

Trying to think how long it's been since someone would have had a reason to put that nut on. I'm thinking the guy that put the rolling chassis together 12 years ago. So that's how long it takes a nut to come loose.

I'll have the alignment and castor checked at my appointment next week, but I've already had that checked in regards to no steering return and this morning when I backed it out it wasn't a few drips but more like a puddle of something like chocolate syrup under the steering box so it's coming out.

He's at 3-4 week wait time so even though it's not cost effective I'm going to own 2 steering boxes for a while so I don't miss a month of driving.
