The earlier boxes use smaller diameter mounting bolts. I made bushings when I installed the borgeson box.

AH! 1962.. that would explain it :) Will see if i can find bolts with shoulders, or sleeves.... thanks for the nfo!

You definitely don't want to beat on a gear box! You could contact borgeson and ask which pitman arm they recommend if no one else on here answers your question.

The Borgeson box needs the higher pressure. I would take the shim out, and ask where you bought it what you can do. I had some problems, and Peter Bergman helped me sort it out.

Thank you!!! In the Summit questions and answers of the steering box the people use royal purple synthetic

Thats the oe box. Considering your logistics and shop issues, I would shoot for the Borgeson box from BAC. Hit Peter up. Sending something that heavy across the pond more than once is not a good idea.

For my old stuff, I've been using the generic one size fits most fluid from the stores. However, when I switch to the Borgeson boxes, they require specific fluid/s.

Following up a bit on my Borgeson conversion, was able to finally find the time and available access to the alignment rack, distracted by other projects. Not sure if I mentioned previously, as well as the Borgeson box and related steering column modifications to stop the hydraulic noise coming...

Did you ever get your Borgeson box and pump sorted? I love the feel of the Borgeson box, until yesterday when it started acting up at low speeds after a 3hr drive. I have new Borgeson box and a not so old Saginaw pump and reservoir installed in 2015 with only 1000 miles on it. Also have PS...

I've heard some say the old junkyard pumps are more reliable than the newer stuff. KD- pick n pull time. Did you see a pump on that recent junkyard dart?

How about the firm firm rebuilds, are they any good? I see they have 3 different stages, but Im wondering if they are as good as the Please let me know. My steering box also has a ton of play and is leaking as well. I was thinking about a firm feel box.

Rick Ehrenberg wrote an article where he installed a Borgeson in a 62 Savoy. The Savoy had mounting bolts that were smaller than the mounting holes of the steering box case. This could have led to a fair amount of movement. He made sleeves to slip into the holes to allow the bolts to fit with...

Only thing is, it double the price of the Lares unit. Rock auto is selling them for a little over $400.

Not an A body member, so only see the first two non-helpful replies. See nothing below the ads.

I have a Borgeson box and a Firm Feel box, and I would definitely recommend the Borgeson kit from Bergman.

The Borgeson is 14 to 1 with 3 1/2 turns. A stock Mopar unit was 15.7 to 1 with almost the same amount of turns. That is strange. Add Fast Ratio arms and the ratio changes to the mid 12s with 2 3/4 turns. I find it hard to believe that any aftermarket steering box would be made with a 10 to 1...

If you go new, get the Borgeson box from Peter, here’s his website. You won’t regret it. https://bergmanautocraft.com/product-category/steering-parts/?srsltid=AfmBOooFjDCMU_4pU424l7z0UGdzXYgQ9LPRrXVKIq7IQnowFDaRsg9L

You don’t have to shorten the column by an inch or so? Or is that in certain models?

Thanks for the info. Yeah, tough mentally.....but could be a project for me in the future. Right now it sounds like a rattle snake is behind the steering wheel...

I just ordered the 11033 today. I hope the Borgeson pump I put in will give it enough pressure.
