...there be an adjustment screw if there were no need for it?
I may have it wrong but I thought that when you buy from Bergman, the boxes are tested. You can get the Borgeson from other vendors but they won't have the Bergman hybrid coupler....
...and probably no hydraulic adapter fittings.
...rubbing. Steering did not self center after turning despite 4 degrees of caster. I traced it to the misalignment. Later when I swapped in a Borgeson box, I found a round bearing/housing in the stash and tack welded it to the column housing. This keeps mine centered now. I don't know if mine...
If I were offered a free rebuilt OEM box or pay for a Borgeson, the decision would depend on my wallet and my goals for the car.
For a car that I want excellent control and handling, Borgeson wins.
If the car is just a casual cruiser, I'd pick the original design and just live with the flaws...
...and body mounts (iso delete)
AMD weld in sub frame connectors
Rear RCD Bilstein shocks
Front KYB Excel shocks
ADDCO 0.75” rear sway bar
Borgeson 14:1 power steering gear box and power steering cooler
11” Wilwood front disc brakes
10” rear drums with balanced drums and ceramic shoes, all...
Two things you can try. Switch to the Borgeson UJ. #036425 Mopar vibration reducing universal joint coupling. Try shimming the motor over to the passenger side a little. Motor Mount Shim Pack
...have this problem on the wagon when I did the work on it last month. So...I did get the front sway bar in and ready for the control arms. Borgeson box is in. I had to run a tap through the three mount holes in the frame as the threads were a little dorked up. Hosed them out with brake clean...
How long ago did you purchase the box? Is the hissing sound coming from the Borgeson box or from the pump?

I switched the steering gearbox on my 1967 Coronet several months ago to the quick ratio Borgeson upgrade sold by Bergman. I did leave my original TRW ps pump and added a fluid cooler. For the most part it was great except the noice when trying to park in a tight spot. I finally made the...
Where can I find a power steering pump with the pulley that fits my 67 Charger with a 383? I tried the Borgeson 800338 unit. It fit nice, without the spacers anyway, and I could finagle the hard line to work, but the return line on the pump they sent me will not fit between the fitting and the...
I am sold on Borgeson.
Dwayne is right...
Excellent point. With super boosted pumps and steering boxes that steered as if the tires were on greased ice, you don't notice the slop at the center of the wheel. Once the boost is lowered or the steering box is rebuilt with stiffer springs, that...
I think it's another manufacturer as well. It looks nothing like the one I posted which is the box that' in my 64. I have np idea who manufactured RWW's gearbox or how and if it can be fine tuned.
If you already bought the borgeson box, which it sounds like you have. Bergman Auto Craft are the makers of this and sponsors on this site. Peter Bergman can help, contact him. @BergmanAutoCraft
The noise is belt squeal, zero doubt about it. Not the box or pump. The "hissing" is the box, but that's the least of my worries at the moment.
As far as the tire iron trick, I'm well versed lol. I've been in industrial maintenance most of my career, much of it involving mechanical...
