...box and direct acting linkage design is excellent.
The weak link is the sloppy steering box. It was designed at a time when the public wanted effortless steering feel. That time was LONG ago.
A Firm Feel stage 2 or 3 steering box is better than stock but a Borgeson is another leap forward.
...got remanufactured stock boxes from Firm Feel and Steer and Gear with different firmness levels (still have the center slop though), the Borgeson box that is a repurposed Jeep box (smaller, firmer than stock mopar B body, but not too firm, no center slop), and now the Lares 11033...
Where can I get this larger flare seat adapter?
...or any detailed info pics on where to grind?
When I am out driving it sounds like an egg is frying on my steering wheel.
The Doug's fit great on my 72 charger with the 440 with the exception of steering box clearance. It had the original box and the headers were right on it. I changed the box to a borgeson box and now have ample clearance
...any other source for a reman stocker. Unless you love punishment and have funds to burn. You could also go with an actual new unit from BAC[ Borgeson box], one of our sponsors on the site and THE place to go for that route, or new from Lares. I have a new one from Lares on my 67 wagon. Direct...
Pretty cool project. If you were one of the guys getting the hissing sound from a Borgeson box I’d say that rag joint would completely eliminate it. I’m pretty lucky that I find the stock location of the steering wheel is about perfect for me but my 8 way, dual lumbar power seats definitely...
Fast ratio on the stock Mopar box is realized from longer Pittman and idler arms. Fast ratio box would be the Borgeson unit. As stated above, getting one from BAC[ Peter Bergman] is the best place to get it. You'll get ALL OF THE NEEDED COMPONENTS when you buy it from him. Putting the Borgeson...
...frame was down, I took the bolts out, pulled the box out, then pulled the frame out. If you decide to go with a new unit, go either with the Borgeson from BAC[ Peter is one of our sponsors on the forum] or Lares like I did. The Lares is new and a direct replacement for the oe unit. However...
on my install i find the Borgeson coupler is more forgiving with the slight angle and I use lucas power steering fluid and a derale cooler with no problems, 4 years since install.
to see if it's the Borgeson box itself or the pump (which may have worn out due to the Borgeson), have the car running and place a tire iron contacting the box while you lower your ear close to the upper end of the tire iron. Then have an assistant turn the steering wheel to confirm if the noise...
Possible.. mine aren't the original bolts, just ones that fit. i think i can get under there tomorrow with a flashlight and see inside the mount if any are bottoming out, didn't think of that
...a little, not a big thing but would rather have it solid..
I was curious if the factory used bolts with shoulders or just threads all the way up? I could see shoulder bolts taking up the slack in the holes on the box, mine are just threads..
Don't think it matters but it's a borgeson unit..
Rad, can you show how you mounted your cooler? I saw Derale has a 4 row cooler that's like $45.. but no mount on it. I have only driven my car a few times with the borgeson setup but man that pump gets hot.... I spend all my time above 2600-3000 though
