I would check your frame for a crack. when my sons steering bolts snapped off we were able to get the bolts out and I put new bolts in. Then I took it for a drive to see about new tires. I heard some terrible creaking noise as I turned right. So I had him turn it back and forth and the frame rail was flexing back and forth. Before you spend money on the box I'd take a close look at you frame near the steering box mount.

I would also highly recommend grade 8 nuts and bolts and probably a lock washer for good measure if you're going with the bolt thru and nut method. There can be a lot of stress on the box/hardware/frame.
