Default Mig welding

Had to weld up the steering mount cause it broke in two places. It's better, but it still flexes a lot when I move the steering wheel, so I plan to weld a brace on the bottom and Ill clean up all the welds and paint them. Is this flexing a common problem? Seems like a weak design.

Also welded the trunion, bent it down flat, cleaned up the plate, and added two copper washers to stop the slop and rubbing. The only washers that were handy and fit.
