This can be done on the car. Flush with brake clean. A small vacuum would help too.

Look down the center of the brass flare adapter mainly on the pressure side. You'll see the port mismatch to the casting. I use a dremel 7144 bit on an angle to grind away the brass and make a smooth path to the casting. You can clean up the casting step as well. The mismatch on the return side...

You're definitely in the minority.

I have found the noise eminating from the restriction in the pressure port. There is a mismatch between the flare seat adapter and the port in the casting. I port every box that goes out the door these days. Once I started doing this complaints dropped to being very rare. Borgeson intalls flare...

yes. everything you need in one kit. Also look at 5-0009 to make coupler assembly easier.

You are limited with 15" tires unfortunately. Our upper arms allow much more caster, easier alignment and better camber gain due to the taller ball joint. You'll know if you've gone too far, that's why I suggest 1 shim.

That explains the ease of steering. Tiny tires and not a ton of caster. 8 degrees caster and 275 or wider tires make a difference. Check the old mopar action article "Pumping it down" we have shim kits in stock on the site.

you can add a shim to your pump. Also what are your alignment specs and wheel/size backspace. So many things affect steering effort.

correct

Do not add any shims. What I said is your pump should either have zero shims or 1 shim max. Otherwise, you might be able to turn the wheel at idle.

The Borgeson box likes more pressure than the OE box. In most cases, zero or 1 shim will remain in the relief valve on a Saginaw pump. The feel is built into the box. Unlike the ancient article of MA showing how to make the OE box harder to turn by changing the relief pressure.

This is NOT my kit.

When the boxes are purchased from Bergman Auto Craft, I include directions and and FAQ page explaining this is normal. The box is too narrow to be lined up exactly without an offset. The coupler is designed to articulate and plunge. The critical thing is the position of the pitman which has...

Anyone with individual concerns read what I wrote above. Here it is again. This is something I've experienced on an off for several years. I started porting out the fluid passages approx 2 years ago. The flare fittings installed in the pressure side specifically, obstruct most of the port in...
