    No Power Steering Assist At Idle

    The box is fine. It's the pumps that were no good. What are the odds that both rebuilt pumps were toast - or I messed up the rebuilds.

    No Power Steering Assist At Idle

    Well, found the problem. It was the pump(s) all along. I had several old pumps lying around and put one on and all is well. Thanks to all who responded.

    No Power Steering Assist At Idle

    Maybe, but I've been driving this car for 15 years, with over 30k on her and this is a recent issue. I'd like to diagnose the underlying issue.

    No Power Steering Assist At Idle

    Ok, so I checked the hoses while running - seem good. Checked flow in pump - hard to see, but I do see flow. In regards to bleeding - I jacked car up and while not running, cycled steering gear about 20 times, then while still having the front wheels off the ground, started the car and cycled...

    No Power Steering Assist At Idle

    Hi, Just did a complete rebuild on this pump and the screen is clean. This is the second pump I have rebuilt with the same results.

    All that is good and tight - no belt slippage.

    No Power Steering Assist At Idle

    Increasing the revs while stationary, results in "normal" steering effort.

    No Power Steering Assist At Idle

    Although this pertains to my 1962 300, I thought I'd put this out to you guys. The power steering works fine at speed, but at idle I have very little or close to no assist. I rebuilt a TRW pump previously because it was leaking, and it worked fine. About 1000 miles after rebuild, the no assist...

    Swapping a Borgeson steering box in a 1970 Charger

    I stripped the threads on a strut arm once - it's somewhere around 100 lbs torque also. The culprit - the threads were lubed and that increased the torque, thus resulting in failure. Make sure threads are dry.

    Power Steering Pump Issue

    Belt is not new, but typically I would expect to hear belt slippage / squealing. I will check this though.

    Power Steering Pump Issue

    I have the pictured PS pump in my car. I rebuilt it about 800 miles ago. It worked fine until last week. I now have very little, if any "parking lot" assist. When the car starts to move forward, the assist returns. Increased engine rpm also helps. While driving, there are no issues. Could the...

    Front end rattle after replacing EVERYTHING

    I was having the same issue on my 64 Polara with the same caliper and clip system. The front end would clunk over irregular road surfaces and on hard braking. Drove me bananas. The issue was those caliper pad clips AND the tabs on the disc pads. Once I adjusted BOTH items, it was like the old...

    Borgenson vs. Lares 11043

    Open your wallet and buy the complete kit from Bergman. After the unit is installed in your car, you'll say to yourself, man was that ever a good decision. So happy I did this. You can always wait a while to save up the extra cash you spent upfront on this box to add "eye candy" to your car...

    Steering gear question

    My car was already a p/s car, therefore, no column mods.

    Steering Box. Restore or Buy new?

    Purchase the Borgeson steering box and the kit that goes with it from Bergnan Auto Craft. You won't be disappointed. It will be like driving a new car. When you move the steering wheel, the car will move with you instead of wandering all over the road. One of the best upgrades I did to my car...

    steering coupler cover install

    Do yourself a favor and spend the $10 on the safety clip from Detroit Muscle. 30 second install, very positive engagement and your done with it. Fooling with those clips, especially in tight quarters can be a real PITA. Ask me how I know.

    Steering gear question

    Well, I upgraded to a Borgeson box on my ride (64 Polara). I purchased the complete kit from BAC, including the upgraded steering shaft coupler. Best money I ever spent on my car. I can now actually DRIVE my car. No unexpected lane changes either. No noises, lots of power assist, easy install...
