Default steering box bolt is striped...

My steering box bolt must be what that bang is... the threads are shot. I don't know what to do now! My steering is loose but still drivable I justwant fix it but don't know how.

Investigate Heli Coil, can repair a stripped thread with a stainless insert. Kits come with correct oversize taps and install tool. Can get them at industrials supply hardware distributors, or automotive (napa).
