Noticed that my steering is looser than sin. The frame almost looks seperated, but it looks as if there was a split there from the factory, check it out fam. Let me know what you think... Anything helps its right at the steering box

I've fixed frames identical to yours, it's pretty common with high mileage f150s/broncos. Also common in those trucks when subject to dukes of hazard reenactments.

Right way to do it is pull engine and axle, pull frame rails back together, weld cracks closed and add plating to prevent re crack.
