Borgeson Power Steering Update

Recommended Posts

I wanted to post an update since some others have issues with the Borgeson power steering conversion.

 

I finally had time to drive my 69 Mach 1 after installing the Borgeson power steering box and pump.  Same front end alignment as before the installation.  In all honesty, I don't know what the caster settings are.  The shop that did the alignment was kind of old school and follows more by experience rather than specs.  But, it steered great, steering wheel is centered, doesn't pull to either side, return to center feels as good as my 1995 F150.  No leaks.  So far, I nave no complaints with it.

I have the 14:1 ratio steering box.  I am also using the manual steering linkage with a stock idler arm.  My F150 returns to center within about 1/2 revolution of center.  The Mach 1 is about the same, although not as strong of a return.  I am happy with it.  I was expecting something really bad after reading some other posts regarding this.
