If the bracket is not leaking, a good way to keep it in good shape is to turn the steering wheel with both hands, so as you turn the force is straight down the steering shaft. Turning the steering wheel with one hand (as when using a suicide knob) will put side pressure on the bracket and flex the bottom of the gas tank where the bracket is riveted.

Also don't grab the steering wheel for support when getting in and out of the car.
