Swapping a Borgeson steering box in a 1970 Charger

[Kern Dog]

When the boxes are purchased from Bergman Auto Craft, I include directions and and FAQ page explaining this is normal.

Actually, there are no directions included in the kit. The directions are sent via a PDF or some other form. I never got a paper copy of instructions nor did another FBBO member that I did a Borgeson swap for last year.

When the boxes are purchased from Bergman Auto Craft, I include directions and and FAQ page explaining this is normal. The box is too narrow to be lined up exactly without an offset. The coupler is designed to articulate and plunge. The critical thing is the position of the pitman which has nothing to do with the housing being on a slight angle. Some mopar applications were not straight on either which is why the coupler articulates in the first place.

Wasn't aware of that, thanks!

The factory box sat at the same angle. It's just that the Borgeson box is a lot smaller so the angle is more noticeable in the void where the original box once sat.

There was no noticeable difference driving the car with the Borgeson box on the angle or with it aligned. It was just my OCD needing it straight.

Well, now that you've "triggered" MY ocd, I have to fight with myself to leave it alone! Thanks! (Sarcasticly speaking) lol

This is NOT my kit.
