It sure stopped the groaning noise I was getting at full lock. At bit of a worry.

I havn't had a close look at the inner guard to see if it flexed, I just found the crack and fixed it up.

Are you trying to stiffen up the mount or just prevent it from cracking again?

If you just want to stop it cracking again, a plate should do the job but only on the wheel side of the guard.

If you want to stiffen it up to improve responsiveness, I would look into welding some angle iron to the inner guard to stiffen it up properly. Welding on a plate isn't a very efficient way of stiffening a panel, especially if it means stuffing up your steering geometry.

How much is the box flexing, surely it can't be as much as the play inside the steering box.
