    Borgeson steering box installation problems

    I relooked at my installation instructions and sure enough it says to use power steering fluid. My mistake. Instructions, who reads instructions.....lol. Thanks for keeping me from screwing up Tony.

    Borgeson steering box installation problems

    Thanks, I haven't put any ATF in it yet so I'll get the power steering fluid. I wish he would write that into the paper work that comes in the box with the unit. I didn't see anything saying what to use. I've used ATF in the factory stock units for 45 years with no issues.

    Borgeson steering box installation problems

    I got it together. I ended up remounting the steering box with 1/4 inch thick shims between the box and k-frame. Bingo! The exhaust manifold bolted right up. Thanks for all of your input.

    Back in the day pics

    Here's my back in the day photo. This was in 1978. This was my RT/SE 440 Six Pack Challenger. Originally it was plum crazy with a white top and black interior.

    Borgeson steering box installation problems

    My car has been running for years as well. I always had a manual box and decided to install power steering. I'm running an automatic and the mount is in good shape. My motor mounts are made of rubber and I just measured them to be 1-1/4 inch thick. I'm wondering if my k-frame mount is off a...

    Borgeson steering box installation problems

    I don't think lifting the engine will work. It's more of a forward/aft issue. I have picked up the engine slightly to try to line up the manifold bolt holes with no success. Thanks for the thought though.

    Borgeson steering box installation problems

    Just had a thought, how bad would it screw up my front end geometry if I made some 1/4 inch shims to put behind the steering box where it mounts to the k-frame? I think that would give me the clearance needed but I don't want to create a different problem.

    Borgeson steering box installation problems

    No reply from Borgeson yet. I just sent them a message a little bit ago. I doubt if they reply before Monday. Could be partly my fault for not asking them if it would fit a hemi car before I bought it. The description says all mopar 62 -79.

    Borgeson steering box installation problems

    Here's a pic. I am considering getting the grinder out and relieving the manifold a bit like you suggest. It looks like the manifold bolt holes need about 1/8 inch to line up. Like the engine needs to move forward about 1/8 inch.

    Borgeson steering box installation problems

    I just got a new Borgeson steering box and tried to install it in my car. Has anyone ever installed one of these units in a car with a gen 2 Hemi? My car has stock exhaust manifolds and seems to be hitting the manifold at the backside of # 1 cylinder. I removed the manifold to install the box...
