We had a frame break on the driver's side a couple years ago, and had larger gap than what is shown in that photo. On our frame, there is a heavy rectangular tube that goes across the rig which connects the frame from the pin box down to the vertical frame which ties into the main frame of the rig. This tube broke completely in two along with a weld failure at a gusset, which I guess they put in there to keep that tube from bending, but there was only one weld attaching it to that tube. In the photo, the circle shows where the frame broke, and the arrow is where the only weld was to the gusset. The repair was to weld the broken tube, weld the gusset to the tube, and then he added those two additional gussets between the large gusset and the tube. If the movement has only just started, something is coming apart and the frame should be looked at to find what it is.
