Today I finished up the install of the Borgeson power steering pump and their coupler on the 66 Monaco. I was a little unsure about hacking up the steering column to make it work, but I didn’t have to!
All I needed to do was drill three holes through the intermediate shaft with the provided drill bit and hammer in a few roll pins. I used two Dorman 31002s for a new rag joint/coupler where the shaft meets the column. It all hooked right up and I lost virtually all play that was in the old steering system. It feels nice and tight when turning the wheel with the car jacked up. For those of you that don’t know, the Monaco still ain’t a runner. Installing the box itself was also simple, just three bolts and a new pitman arm. I can’t wait to really feel it one day.
Super happy with the install, zero cutting of the column and it all bolted right up. Dosent feel like that happens too often for me, a first timer doing a bunch of aftermarket stuff.
