Steering gear box mount bracket

My steering is lock tires won't turn. Checked it out and notice bracket where gear box broke after a 1400 miles trip from south texas to centerville, ga south south of macon, ga. I was in process to backing up into my drive way. Steering wheel was hard to turn. Front wheels would not turn. Couldn't drive it. Since it was midnight, had it towed to nearest freightliner lot. Had to move rv. Could not fine any one who look it. They alway ask for chassis name. No one have heard peak chassis. Found some would look at on 27 feb
shoe them picture broken gear box bracket. Have to remove bracket and maybe a machine shop can fabricate the bracket. Had towed twice at $750. Have to tow it to a shop. If they cant fix it have to tow it again. Anyone have clue as where to take it? I'm 80 miles south of atlanta.
Appreciate any info.
Thanks

1st thing is to tell us your year model and length. There are three different set-ups depending upon year model. Also review the posts in the Steering Bracket Upgrade section of this forum. Others will be along later that may be able to offer further info.

CORRECT!


We don't have enough information yet to make specific recommendations.
