The bracket securing the steering gearbox on the vehicle body does not have sufficient strength, and it may crack around the welded section from repeated dry steering. If this problem is left unattended, the bracket could break, in which case the steering gearbox would become unstable, and at worst, steering would become impossible.

Correction:
The steering gear bracket should be checked, and if the reinforcing bracket is not present, the reinforcing bracket should be installed and additional welding should be done. Also, the welded section should be inspected, and if there are any cracks, they should be repaired by welding.
