FAQ
What does a quick ratio steering box do?
- A quick ratio steering box, such as the Borgeson 800130 (also referred to as the Saginaw 800 steering box or GM 800 steering box), reduces the number of steering wheel rotations needed from lock to lock. It offers faster responsiveness, ideal for performance driving and maneuverability.
Where are Borgeson steering boxes made?
- Borgeson steering boxes, including the 800 steering box (800130), are proudly manufactured in the United States. Crafted with precision and quality materials, they meet stringent standards for durability and performance.
Is 14 1 a good steering ratio?
- A steering ratio of 14:1 can be suitable for various driving preferences. It strikes a balance between responsiveness and stability. However, the ideal steering ratio depends on the vehicle's intended use and the driver's preferences.
What is the difference between 605 and 800 steering box?
- The primary difference lies in their design and application. The 605 steering box is smaller and lighter, commonly used in smaller or lighter vehicles. Conversely, the 800 steering box, exemplified by the Borgeson 800130, is larger, providing enhanced strength and durability, suitable for heavier vehicles and applications requiring increased stability.

Excellent Upgrade for my First Gen Camaro
Bought the 800130 steering box to convert my 1967 Camaro to power steering. Drivability and road feel are excellent. I love the feel and control that this using provides. I used an original GM power steering pump with full pressure output. At speed, the steering feel is excellent, almost like the manual box. Around corners, the slightly faster ratio makes turns like a modern car. It's a dream in the parking lot. My car has wider tires which made the original manual steering almost unbearable during parking. The slight dampening effect also makes the car seem to ride quieter and smoother by reducing road bumps to the steering wheel. I used the Borgenson rag joint half also. It seems a bit heavier than the original, but that did not cause any issues. Very happy with this unit.

Makes old car steering feel modern
I had rebuilt the front end on my 68 Cadillac. All new bushings, balljoints etc. Steering was still loose and excessively easy. I have used quick ratio boxes and before and was happy to find Borgeson had one for the cadillac. Now car tracks straight and has the stiffer feel of a modern box.
The only complaints I have are the flare adapters supplied did not seem correct. They were much too small on the press in side,They just fell out.. Borgeson tech support claimed they were correct. I used ones I had from another vendor that fit correctly. The steering wheel also was about 30 degrees off when I first installed. That could have been my fault but I wonder if the keying on the box was different from factory

Has that sports car steering feel
Best upgrade I have made yet. Easy install, tight responsive feel. Should have done it years ago. Borgsen rag joint was a bit pricey but you got to have it...

So far so good
The installation was smooth. The box works as described. It was easier to reconnect the pitman arm than it looked. Now we'll see how long it lasts. Hopefully will never have to change it again.
