The purpose of this study is to improve the durability by solving the crack problem of the steering gearbox bracket welded to the frame assembly. For the exact and effective analysis, we use charac- teristic(fishbone) diagram from the viewpoint of 4M1E. Through this analysis it was identified two kinds of problems, and develop improvement plan for it. Verification tests must be performed to confirm the improvement. So, the test method for steering gearbox bracket improvement was newly established by referring to similar case. As a result of the tests for verification, the stresses at crack point are decreased and the durability was improved about 2.6 times compared with product before improvement.
