BORGESON

Steering You Forward

Founded in Torrington, CT, Borgeson Universal began

manufacturing universal joints for lathes and milling machines

in 1914. By the 1920’s, Ford was using Borgeson universal

joints for the steering on some of their prototypes. Borgeson

Universal continued to develop and rene u-joints for industrial,

aerospace and OEM vehicle applications. When purchased in

1982 by the current owners, two avid Street Rodders, Borgeson

soon began developing applications for Street Rods. Borgeson

has continually improved and developed the original needle

bearing universal joints into the most reliable, smoothest

operating, strongest u-joints available today.

Seeking to expand, Borgeson ventured into manual

steering gears with the acquisitions of Mullins Steering Gears

in 2001 and in July 2012 Borgeson acquired all of the original

equipment, tooling, drawings and the OE manufacturing rights

for all Saginaw manual steering gear boxes. In 2016 Borgeson

relocated from its home of over 100 years in Torrington CT

and expanded yet again into a new 101,000 square foot

manufacturing facility in Travelers Rest SC. This 101,000 square

foot plant was designed and built for increased production

and capacity to better serve our customers. We use the latest

manufacturing and inventory control procedures to maintain

stock, and take great pride in being able to ship most orders

placed by 2:30 EST the same day. Today, Borgeson is the leading

manufacturer and supplier of aftermarket steering components

for the street rod, racing, specialty automotive, OEM and pickup

truck markets.

We believe our growth is based on a policy of honesty

and always listening to our customers, whether you are a

corporation or working in your garage. We respond to your

suggestions by developing needed innovations to help increase

steering system safety and make building your vehicle more fun.

Our dedication to safety has been recognized by the National

Street Rod Association with safety product of the year awards in

1992 & 2001 as well as Street Rod Manufacturer Of The Year in

1999. Ultimately, your vehicle’s safety depends on you. We strive

to make Borgeson steering components as safe as possible.

You can’t buy a stronger, safer u-joint anywhere in the world!

However, its eectiveness is only as good as the installation.

In this catalog, you will nd many installation

suggestions and guidelines that will help in the design of a

safe, smooth operating steering system. Call if you have any

questions. Our technical sta has over 95 years combined

experience in the design and application of steering systems.

Remember, auto manufacturers have thousands of engineers

and millions of miles of road experience to rely on when

designing a steering system. Without the benet of those

resources, the possibility of a malfunction is greater. So,

overbuild your system and inspect it frequently. Safety should

be your most important concern! We attend many shows during

the year, so stop by our booth and say hello, we’ll be happy to

help!

INTRODUCTION

Borgeson President Gerry Zordan Borgeson Vice President Alan Zordan

Over 100 years ago, John Borgeson built a wooden universal joint model, dated July 22nd, 1914, for application

to the United States Patent Oce. This is the oldest Borgeson universal joint that we are aware of. His goal was to provide

high quality products at a fair price. 100 years later, that very same universal joint graces my oce as a tribute to, and

reminder of, where it all began.

For the last 35 years, since I purchased Borgeson, we have been dedicated to the same philosophies of creating

the best quality products at fair prices while providing outstanding customer service. This continued business model

has helped us to grow from a humble four part-time employees all those years ago, to 35 full-time employees, proudly

dedicated to providing high quality products and outstanding customer service.

This growth and longevity is, in no small part, attributed to you, our valued customers. I thank you for the

continued support and loyal patronage that has helped Borgeson Universal to become the great American company that it

is today.

A message from Borgeson president Gerry Zordan,

Thank you, Gerry Zordan,

President, Borgeson Universal Co. Inc.

Needle Bearing U-Joints

Needle bearing u-joints have the distinct advantage of lasting

much longer than non-needle bearing u-joints. Borgeson

recommends only needle bearing u-joints for use on street

vehicles. Our u-joints are made of specially selected steel and

stainless steel for strength and longevity. The sealed precision

needle bearings never need maintenance. Needle bearing

u-joints outlast non-needle bearing joints by a factor of 10 to 1. Our

needle bearing joints have zero backlash (radial play) for more

precise steering and a better feel for the road. Although non-

needle bearing joints are stronger than the same size needle

bearing joint, this strength is oset by the maintenance required

and the longevity factor. Non-needle bearing joints should be

lubricated with each use and a rubber boot should be used to

retain lubrication. Boots are not recommended for use with

needle bearing joints.

Borgeson u-joints are machined in our factory on state of the art

CNC equipment from solid billet steel or stainless steel. Ongoing

engineering and testing ensures our components meet or

exceed current automotive production vehicle requirements.

Any of our four Double D (a round shaft with two ats) sizes, 14

dierent spline size yokes, and the ‘94 and later Mustang V style

can be combined to mate components from many dierent

manufacturers. They operate at angles up to 35°. For example,

with our components, you could easily connect a GM column to a

new Mustang rack and pinion or a Ford column to a Saginaw box.

Similar to OEM u-joints, the staked needle bearing caps prevent

loosening and adjustment malfunction.

Many other sizes are available. Visit www.borgeson.com for

TECH TIP: Because a double joint used in combination with

a single joint will function the same as a three joint system, a

shaft support bearing is required to prevent the shaft from

“looping” and binding. See page 7 for shaft support bearings.

DESIGN AND INSTALLATION TIP:

Don’t install a vibration reducer in the center of a length of

shaft. It can cause excess exing and possible binding. If your

system requires the use of a support bearing, the vibration

reducer must be used between the support bearing and the

column. The support bearing can pick up chassis vibration

and will transfer it up the steering shaft to the wheel

reducing the eects of the vibration reducer.

Noise, vibration, and harshness are on top of the list of

concerns for all automotive enthusiasts. With the more

frequent use of rack and pinions and low prole tires, there

are more road vibrations transmitted to the steering wheel

than in the past. Using urethane to isolate all of the metal

components, Borgeson has developed vibration reducers to

diminish the annoying vibrations that are transmitted through

the steering system and felt in the steering wheel. The use

of the Borgeson vibration reducer results in an immediate

improvement of the steering feel. As an added benet, this

reduction in vibration has been shown to increase the overall

life of the steering components, including the steering column

and box.

VIBRATION REDUCERS

Rubber Coupling/Rag Joints

On older factory applications, a exible coupling was used to

attach the column to the steering box when there was perfect

alignment. If the original column or box is changed, the stock

coupling may not work. If a conversion from a long input

steering box to a short input with an aftermarket column is

done, a exible coupling needs to be added. Borgeson oers

the largest variety of spline and double D sizes to t most

applications. Rag Joints are only available in steel.

SAFETY TIP: Welding can overheat the u-joint bearings

causing loss of lubrication. If welding is the only option, it

should be done by a certied welder. Drilling and pinning can

be a safer option. See page 28 for more information on pinning

and proper shaft attachment.

Steering Supports

If more than two joints are used in a steering system, a support

bearing must be used to prevent looping and binding. Use of

a vibration reducer and two u-joints will also call for a support

bearing to be used. The support must be mounted to the frame,

not to a sheet metal section of the body; sheet metal will not

withstand the stress. The shaft should t easily through the

support with no binding. A system with a double u-joint and a

single u-joint has three ex points and will require a support bearing.

All support bearings work with round or DD shafting.

Rod end bearings with a 3/4” hole size are commonly used for

supports. Rod end bearings are supplied with two jam nuts

for mounting. They are available in steel, stainless steel and

polished stainless steel. Our billet supports accommodate a

3/4” shaft. The billet supports are 2-1/2” long with two threaded

holes in the end for mounting and are available in steel,

aluminum, polished aluminum, stainless steel, and polished

stainless steel. A 6” steel support is also available, which can

be cut at any angle for a perfect t. The 6” steel support has no

mounting holes and must be welded in. Flange bearings are also

available for supporting a shaft through the rewall.

Couplers and Adapters

A u-joint can sometimes be eliminated by using a 2” straight

extension, called a coupler, to extend either the steering box,

R&P shaft or the column shaft. The coupler can be welded and/

or pinned to the un-splined end of a shaft. We oer shafts that

are splined only on one end in 3 lengths: 5”, 16” and 36”. The 1”-

48 and 1” DD couplers have a 1-1⁄4” hole that will accept either

an adapter to reduce inside diameter to 3/4” smooth or another

splined or 3/4” DD coupler. The coupler assembly would have

to be pinned and/or welded together. Welding the coupler is

acceptable because there are no moving parts to damage, and

the coupler’s steel is less susceptible to heat damage from

welding. Couplers are available in the same spline or double D

sizes as our u-joints. Couplers and adapters are available in steel

only.

The advantage to the pin and block style of universal joint is a high strength to weight, size

and cost ratio. These u-joints are manufactured from high strength billet alloy steel and then

heat treated to obtain maximum strength. Because the u-joints use pivot pins and blocks

instead of sealed needle bearings, they must be checked and lubricated every time

the vehicle is driven. A rubber boot is also available to retain lubrication. The smaller sizes

are ideal for fabricating shift linkage. Borgeson pin and block u-joints have a 30° maximum

operating angle. These u-joints are not for street use.

After years of effort, the steering specialists at Fatman Fab and Borgeson

have found an answer to adding power steering to the factory ’49-’51

Ford cars! A special reverse rotation box was the key, with a custom

frame bracket and pitman arm that allow tting to the stock or Fatman’s

Improved Steering Linkage kit. Although this is not recommended for use

with the Flathead engine due to extremely tight exhaust clearance, small

block Ford and Chevy engines will work well with recommended headers.

Optional Column Saver kit will allow preserving the original column.

Borgeson oers the Saginaw/Delphi 700 series in three dierent ratios, 2 xed and one variable. Borgeson utilizes later model

steering gears for more favorable steering feel, ratio and response. The variable ratio oers a quick nal ratio with only 3 turns lock-to-

lock but is not overly sensitive on-center for stable highway driving. The #800205 Variable Ratio 700 gear is an excellent upgrade for

65 and up GM Muscle cars looking to update their steering.

Note: All 1979 and earlier GM cars will require a new or rag joint coupler to use these later model boxes.

Borgeson has developed an integral power steering conversion box for the 1952-1964 Ford full size cars. The Borgeson conversion

box is a new manufactured modern integral power steering gearbox. The Borgeson integral power steering gearbox provides true

modern power steering feel, feedback and a quick 14:1 ratio. Borgeson has manufactured this box to bolt directly to the factory

mounting location and connects to the stock manual steering linkage. The steering column will need to be shortened for installation

of this conversion box. (Details below)

Cars with factory Bendix style power steering will require either manual steering linkage or a drag link adapter.

STEERING COLUMN MODIFICATIONS

1952-1957 & All Column Shift cars a steel coupler #312500 must be welded to a cut o inner column shaft. The outer column tube

will be able to t over the coupler leaving enough column tube to mount the shift linkage.

1958-1964 Floor shift applications we recommend the use of a rag joint #052549. The cut o column shaft will need to be ground

into a DD prole to connect to the rag joint.

This conversion box ts the following Ford full size models:

•1952-1956 Crestline, Customline, Mainline

•1957-1960 Custom

•1957-1962 Fairlane

•1958-1964 Galaxie

•1955-1957 Thunderbird

STEERING COLUMN MODIFICATIONS

Stock column shift cars have variations throughout the years. We have not done in house tting on column shift cars. Installations

have been completed using our #312500 coupler. This ts within the column tube and may leave room for the factory shift linkage.

1964-1967 oor shift applications, you will need to trim away the outer column tube and cut o the inner steering column shaft. The

column shaft will need to be ground into a DD prole to connect to rag joint #052549.

1968-1977 oor shift applications, you will need to trim away the outer column tube. The inner steering column shaft with rag joint

ange will then collapse in on itself for clearance. Attach the shortened column to the box with half rag joint part #990016.

If you have tried replacing the worn-out steering on your Ford, you’ve probably

found that many OEM replacement steering assemblies are no longer available.

Borgeson manufactures heavy duty bolt-in replacement assemblies for many

model years of Ford pickups and Broncos. Borgeson incorporates a telescoping

shaft that adds a measure of safety to the steering system. Ford has had many

length variations over the years and sometimes within model years. Borgeson

has accommodated this by making an assembly which can be trimmed down to

get the exact t for your application. This added length will also accommodate

aftermarket body lifts. Borgeson also oers an upgrade to our standard

assembly that incorporates a vibration reducer that greatly reduces the road

shock felt through the steering wheel.

Bronco Power Steering Box & Components

Borgeson oers an integral power steering conversion for your 1966-1977 Bronco. The Borgeson

conversion box is a modern power steering gearbox that has been modied to bolt directly to the

factory mounting location and to t the stock pitman arm. A new universal joint will be required for

connection to the stock column and a new hose kit for connection to the pump of your choice. Complete

kits are available for the most popular applications.

Jeep’s original steering shaft assemblies were not

designed for the added stress of body lifts and

oversized tires. Borgeson’s replacement assemblies

oer a heavy duty telescoping shaft with either

two precision needle bearing u-joints or a vibration

reducer and a u-joint. The steering assembly is easy to

install with common hand tools. Once installed, you

will experience much tighter and more responsive

steering. Steering shafts have a 5 year warranty.

Dodge Full Size Truck Shafts

Full size Dodge Pickups and Ramchargers have a type of steering

coupler that has shown signs of wear in as little as 4000 miles,

depending on how the truck is used. This wear causes play in the

truck’s steering. It’s even more noticeable if your truck is used for

plowing, towing or if oversized tires have been installed. Replacing

the worn steering shaft with another OEM shaft only gives you

a temporary x. The Borgeson steering shaft assembly replaces

the loose OEM parts with precision needle bearing u-joints and a

telescopic shaft.

Steering System Design

Often the steering system is designed late in the building

process. We recommend that the steering be mocked

up at the time the engine and exhaust components are

installed. Positioning of the column, shafts, and u-joints

with respect to the engine, exhaust and steering box early

on can help in selecting the correct parts. With our wide

selection of u-joints, shafts, and vibration reducers, any

system can be designed or modied to result in a car that

is not only safe, but a pleasure to drive. Keeping a system

simple is the best course, but even a system with up to 10

u-joints can be designed as long as the proper phasing

and supports are used. Remember to use a support

bearing if more than two joints are used.

Shaft Support Placement

Any time more than two universal joints are used in a

system, a shaft support is required to prevent the shafts

from looping. In a system with 3 u-joints, one support is

required. For each additional u-joint, an additional support

will be needed. In a 3 joint system it is best to locate the

shaft support as close to the center u-joint as possible. If

one of the shafts is signicantly longer than the other, it is

best to locate the support on the longer shaft.

Vibration Reducer Placement

Vibration reducers can substantially reduce, and even

eliminate annoying road vibration from being transmitted

to the steering wheel. Location of the reducer in a system

is very important in order to take full advantage of its

eects. In a two joint system, the vibration reducer can be

installed at either end without any loss of eectiveness.

In a system with one or more shaft supports however, the

vibration reducer should be located on the column side

of the supports. A shaft support located on the steering

column side of a vibration reducer can pick up vibration,

bypass the reducer, and transmit the vibration to the

steering wheel.

Shorty Columns

A great way to free up some much needed leg room in

your street rod is by using a shorty column. This moves

the steering column up under the dash and gives you

much more leg/pedal space resulting in a much more

comfortable ride.

STEERING SYSTEM DESIGN

Pitman Arm Length

Steering speed can be adjusted by box ratio or pitman arm

length. The longer the pitman arm, the quicker the steering

will be. That is, a longer pitman arm means less steering wheel

movement is required to produce the same amount of front

wheel movement. So if you are looking to speed up or slow

down the steering, changing the pitman arm is an easy way to

do it.

Steering Column Length

and Column Drop Size

Before determining the column length, it is important

to have your seat and pedals in the nal locations.

Using a pie tin tacked to a wooden dowel is an

excellent way to decide on steering column position

and length. With one person sitting in the car and

holding the “steering wheel” in position, another

person can take measurements of column length and

position. Keep in mind, many traditional style steering

wheels are at, while other aftermarket wheels are

dished. This is also the perfect time to determine

how much drop you’ll need to put the column in

a comfortable driving position. Measure from the

mounting surface on the dash to the center of the

steering column. This is the length of the drop you will

need.

Steering Ratio

Steering box ratio. This is the relationship between input motion and output motion on the steering box. The ratio

is expressed as 24:1, 22:1, 16:1, etc. For example, in a 24:1 ratio box, the pitman shaft rotates one degree for every 24

degrees of input shaft rotation. The higher the rst number, the more input shaft rotation is required to get the same

amount of output shaft rotation. Dividing the rst number in the ratio by four, gives the number of turns lock to lock.

Steering ratio and eort. A quicker ratio steering box will have fewer turns of the steering wheel lock-to-lock but this

does have an eect on drivability. In manual steering applications a quick ratio box, while enhancing the way the car

feels at speed, will greatly increase steering eort during low speed and parking. In power steering applications it is quite

common for quicker ratios to be used as the power assist overcomes the added steering eort. Selecting too quick of a

ratio without properly building the suspension can result in a diving feel during 5-10 MPH turns.

Variable Ratio Steering. True variable ratio steering is accomplished with the gear cut of the sector shaft and rack block

inside the steering gear. The center tooth of a variable ratio power steering gear box is cut at a slower ratio, this makes the

on center feel and reaction of a variable ratio box more stable at highway speeds. The pitch of the sector shaft gear then

changes to a quicker ratio o center. This gives quicker response when more turning is required like parking, yet minimizes

the overall turns lock-to-lock.

Steering Box Installation Angle

One thing frequently overlooked when building or modifying a car is the position of the

steering box. Steering boxes are often positioned with the input shaft level creating a much

more complex steering linkage. A great way to simplify your steering linkage is to position

the steering box with the input shaft angled up toward the steering column. This method

has been used by the OEM’s for years to simplify the connection to the steering column.

STEERING SYSTEM DESIGN HOW TO...

Determine splined shaft length with two u-joints:

1. Measure the distance from the end of the column to the box/rack (Dimension C).

2. Subtract 3” from this measurement.

3. Order the next even size shaft (Dimension B).

Note: We stock stainless and polished stainless shafting in 1/4” increments up to 24”

EXAMPLE If “C” is 18” —subtract 3” (1-1/2” for each joint). “B” is 15”. Order a

16” shaft and trim a total of 1” from the shaft, either from one or both ends.

Determine splined shaft length with one u-joint and u-joint/vibration reducer combination.

1. Measure the distance from the end of the column to the box/rack (Dimension C).

2. Subtract 4” from this measurement.

3. Order the next even size shaft (Dimension B).

Note: We stock stainless and polished stainless shafting in 1/4” increments up to 24”

EXAMPLE If “C” is 19” —subtract 4” (1-1/2” for a joint and 2-1/2” for the vibration reducer).

“B” is 15”. Order a 16” shaft and trim 1” from the shaft, either from one or both ends.

Determine splined shaft length with three or more u-joints.

1. Buy the u-joints rst.

2. Install a joint on the column and one on the box/rack.

3. Use dowels or PVC pipe and mock up the system around obstacles.

4. Order the correct shaft lengths based on dowel/PVC lengths.

Add a vibration reducer to an existing steering system.

There are various ways of adding a vibration reducer to a system. Because of the dierence in shafts, u-joints, racks, boxes, and columns, we

recommend you call our technical support sta. We can suggest options that will result in the best steering system for you.

Rag Joint Angles of Operation

Rag joints are designed to dampen vibrations, they are not

designed to accommodate an angle. If you do not have a

straight connection a rag joint should NOT be used.

U-joint Angles of Operation

The Borgeson needle bearing u-joints will operate smoothly up

to 35°. The double needle bearing u-joints will operate smoothly

up to 70°. The u-joints must not be altered in any way. Pin and

block style u-joints will operate at 30º smoothly.

STEERING SYSTEM DESIGN

CAUTION: It is unsafe to pin joints to tubing!

Figure B

Detroit uses irregularly shaped shafts such as splined or a

Double D conguration and inserts them into a similarly shaped

hole with practically no play and then secures them by staking

or clamping. Since steering failures are practically unheard of

in modern production cars, one should strongly consider this

method as having signicant merit.

Borgeson oers splined shafts and joints which give the option

of easy disassembly when repairs on the vehicle become

necessary. Another advantage is the ability to rotate the shaft in

relation to the u-joint in small increments. This makes it easier to

position the u-joints in the correct relationship to each other.

A at should be led on the splined shaft where the set screw

will clamp (gure A). This will prevent damage to the spline

and allow for easier disassembly. Always lock the set screw

with a lock nut, Loc-Tite or similar product. The shaft must be

ush with the inside of the yoke (gure B), not so short that it

sacrices strength or so long that it interferes with the center

workings of the joint.

To determine the spline size of a component, measure the

outside diameter and count the number of splines. If there

is a at spot on the shaft and some of the splines are missing,

(gure C) count halfway around where there are splines and

double that number. We need to know how many teeth are in

a theoretical full circle. If you have something unusual or you’re

unsure about measuring the spline, make an impression of it in

clay and send it to us.

A Double D (gure D) shaft has two ats on the shaft that

correspond to two ats in the female end of the u-joint. The

disadvantage of this style is the lack of adjustability because the

shaft can only be rotated 180°. The Double D shaft should have

a dimple machined on the shaft for the set screw to clamp to

(gure D).

Pinning

Common practice is to use two 3/16” diameter roll pins in each

yoke at right angles to each other and approximately 3/8” apart.

(gure E) An even stronger connection can be made by using

hardened shear pins. Pinning can be used when the shaft can

be removed from the vehicle and supported properly when

inserting the pins. Driving pins in while the assembly is in the

car could cause damage. The major drawback to pinning is that

a 3/4” diameter shaft is weakened by 30%, smaller shafts are

weakened to an even greater extent.

If you are considering using bolts instead of roll pins, don’t.

NEVER USE BOLTS! Always use roll pins. Roll pins are driven in

and t very tightly in the drilled hole. Bolts often t loosely inside

the drilled hole and repeated back and forth movement, even

though very slight, can cause the bolt to work harden and fail.

STEERING SYSTEM DESIGN

CAUTION: Collapsibility

Every steering system should include some means of directing

energy away from the driver in the event of a collision. One

method of reducing the chance of this happening is to

intentionally design angles into the steering system so that the

force of a collision deects the column away from the driver. A

second method is to use the Borgeson telescopic intermediate

shaft.

CAUTION: Shaft Size

BORGESON DOES NOT RECOMMEND USING LESS

THAN 3/4” DIAMETER SHAFTS

All Borgeson spline and DD shafts are 3/4” diameter. We will not

sell a shaft with a smaller diameter due to safety considerations.

A 5/8” shaft is 42% weaker than a 3/4” shaft and can be twisted

with a 14” steering wheel.

Borgeson does not recommend using tubing for a steering

connection. It is unsafe to pin and there are too many wall

thicknesses and alloys available to insure proper strength.

U-Joint Orientation

When two joints are used on a shaft, the forks of the yokes

closest to each other should be in line, or “in phase.” Premature

wear or binding can result if the u-joints are not phased

properly. Sometimes if the u-joints are at a severe angle, even if

they are phased correctly, a hard spot in the steering may occur

for no apparent reason. If this happens, index the u-joints two or

three splines in one direction. The hard spot should disappear or

be minimized.

Problem:

Here is a straight column WITHOUT a collapsible

intermediate shaft. Without a collapsible shaft, the column

may be forced into the passenger compartment in the

event of a collision.

Solution: A

With a telescopic intermediate shaft the column

slides together, compacting before it gets a chance

to enter the passenger compartment.

IMPACTIMPACT

CAUTION: Do Not Use Flex Cable

Another less common (and denitely not recommended)

method of getting from the column to the rack or box is to

use ex cabling from a Pinto (this cable is no longer available

from Ford). Ford only used these for a couple of years

before switching to joints and shafts, which should tell you

something. When a heavier engine is put into a larger heavier

car, a ex cable is not reliable.

CORRECT PHASING

INCORRECT PHASING

Solution: B

Here is an example of a steering system with

angular collapsibility. An angle designed into

steering shaft deflects the column upward

upon impact.

CAUTION: Welding

Welding joints is a common practice in racing, however, it is not

a method we at Borgeson would recommend. Hairline cracks,

which may be all but invisible to the unaided eye, could cause

a weld to fail under severe stress. It may also be illegal in some

states to weld steering system components on a car used on the

street. Improper grounding can cause damage which will result

in the failure of the steering. Overheating, which can occur at

relatively low temperatures, can distort the yoke and melt the

grease out of the needle bearings or damage the seals. This can

prevent the joint from operating freely and it may fail. Cooling

a weld too quickly can cause cracks, leading to sudden failure.

Also, welding is a permanent connection that makes disassembly

almost impossible should it become necessary. Caution: Welding

on steering components is illegal in some states. Check rst.

CAUTION: Keying and Set Screws

Using a key, as is done in many industrial applications, can

transmit power eectively from the shaft to the joint. A key,

however, is not suitable to take sudden shock (such as from a

pothole or accident) which can distort or shear the key or shaft

keyway. This may cause play to develop in the system or, even

worse, failure. It should be noted that in industrial applications,

keys are designed to shear, preventing damage to expensive

components. In automotive applications a sheared key will cause

extensive damage by causing a loss of control of the vehicle. Set

screws should never be used to secure smooth bore joints.

They should only be used as a method to prevent a splined or

Double D shaft from disengaging from the joint. An indentation

or at should be made for the set screw on splined or DD shafts.

CAUTION: Bolts for Connection

NEVER USE BOLTS! Always use roll pins. Roll pins are driven in

and t very tightly in the drilled hole. Bolts often t loosely inside

the drilled hole and repeated back and forth movement, even

though very slight, can cause the bolt to work harden and fail.

CAUTION: Corvair Steering Boxes

Corvairs were rear-engined cars; this means there was very little

weight on the front tires. The steering box used in these cars was

a very light duty box. It is not recommended for use in a street

rod with the engine in the front. Steering gear failure could

cause a severe accident.

CAUTION: Vega Steering Boxes

We recommend a maximum weight limit of 2400 lbs. for a vehicle

using a Saginaw 140 (Vega) steering Box. We recommend the 525

Saginaw box for vehicles exceeding 2400 lbs.

POWER STEERING TIPS

Diagnosing Power Steering Problems

When trying to determine what is causing a problem in your

power steering, keep this in mind: If the problem occurs only in

one direction, the problem is probably in the box or rack. If the

problem is in both directions, it is most likely the pump, dirty

uid or hoses. Be sure there are no kinks or obstructions in your

power steering hoses and that they are the right inside diameter

for the application.

Dirty Steering System

Before changing any single component of the steering system,

inspect the cleanliness of your system. Dirty or black uid can

quickly ruin new steering components. If changing the box or

rack, rub your nger on the inside of the reservoir. If it isn’t clean,

you must ush the pump and hoses with clean uid before

installing new components.

Bleeding Power Steering

All power steering systems are designed to be self-bleeding,

but sometimes they need a little help. After installing new

components, ll the reservoir and let it sit for a few minutes.

Raise the front end of the vehicle and turn the wheels back

and forth slowly with the engine o to allow the steering box

to draw uid. Keep the reservoir full. When the uid level stops

dropping, start the vehicle and continue turning the wheels.

When the uid level remains constant the system is fully bled.

Put cardboard under the front tires while testing your steering

system. The cardboard will slide on the oor and prevent

wearing at spots on the tires from excessive turning of the

wheels while not moving.

Steering Box Adjustment

All Borgeson steering boxes are set at the factory to the proper

specications. Any adjustments of the box beyond that will void

the warranty and cause premature wear on the steering box.

Please do not try to adjust your steering box. Please contact us if

you feel your steering box needs adjustment.

Power Steering Pressure

GM power steering pumps will produce up to 1,500 PSI. We

recommend 1,200 PSI for steering box applications and 800–

900 PSI for Mustang rack & pinions. If a pump is generating too

much pressure for the rack or box you are using, the steering

will be over assisted resulting in twitchy steering at speed. This

can be corrected by adjusting the pumps internal pressure valve.

To properly adjust this pressure order part #899001-Pressure

Reducing Kit.
