You lost more than one. Have you had work done to the front of the recently? You have lost both rear cradle bolts- And I will bet this has also destroyed the joint between the steering rack and column. Get both rear frame mounts new, as well as the bolts and washers. This is money well spent,imagine what a mess this would have been at freeway speed! If the steering wheel just spins freely,you will probably need to replace the lower steering shaft as well.There is no reason these should have come loose under normal service. let me know how this goes for you, Doc

Hello again. My friend came over and he used his alldata software. Based on what we saw is "Intermediate steering shaft" is gone. We are are confused on where brakets and bolts go. It appears that we need to jack underneath frame area. Anybody knows where brackets and bolts go? Thanks.
