He is having issues breaking steering racks, it is breaking right at the top mount. Is there any solution that anyone knows of or is anyone else having the same issues? For anyone wondering its a 2018 HD8 with power steering that is slightly lifted that originally had 32 in tires but after the first steering rack he downsized to 30in tires.

Â Without seeing a picture of where/how its breaking, not positive this will be the fix, but worth a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would HIGHLY recommend doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
