Im looking into buying a 73 roadrunner that has the factor power steering installed. Is there any way I can install the 14:1 Borgeson unit and re-use the factory pump?
I agree with going for the Borgeson steering gear since you already have the Borgeson pump. I have heard the Borgeson pump needs to have the pressure toned down a bit if using with a stock steering gear. It will work perfectly with the Borgeson gear.
yeah, i was wondering if the borgeson uses slightly larger holes.. right now it's not a big thing but it's something i want to take care of when the motor is out (if i ever get my block back from machining)
There have been reports of a H I S S sort of noise, others mention a sort of HUMM. Either way, this is a form of resonance that may be related to the output of the P/S pump itself. The stock steering box was very forgiving of pump pressure variations but the Borgeson seems to be more finicky.
If the Lares unit is a direct bolt in for a fair price, I can see the appeal. I bought the Borgeson because I wanted better feel than any rebuilt original and the weight savings is great. I look to shed weight where I can with the car.
Not with me, personally. I like food.
The cooler usually...
A good rebuilt original mopar box is not terrible but still nowhere near as responsive as a Borgeson unit.
Yeah, it isn’t cheap but it is a definite improvement.
I've heard this before. It seems to be a characteristic that many of them have. Functionally, the Borgeson unit is excellent. The noise they make is considered normal.
I put a borgeson on my 72 charger and it is nice. question is what do I do with the old original one? scrap it? I hate throwing things away, but I need to do something.
