ARM Ashby Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Anyone have any experience with the Borgeson 980 or 985 steering shafts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 I have a Borgeson steering shaft on Big Blue, but I don't know what model it is. The thing was mounted when I got the truck. Works fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gsmblue Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Thank You Gary I put a 980 in my Bronco. What would you like to know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gsmblue Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 If you are good with the product? Oh, it is great. Well made, easy to install. No rag joint so feels less sloppy. But now my steering box is the weak link and needs replacing. Would buy again. Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArdWrknTrk Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 I recently welded a 2007-14 F-Series steering shaft in place of my rag joint shaft. Length was good, but I would swap ends if I had it to again. That would make the sector box pinch action easier. So, for $20 and an hours time I have a 8L1Z-3B676-A shamrock profile shaft with U-joints on each end. Gary said it looks very similar to his Borgenson shaft. I see them trending for $35 on eBay now, but I took I great deal when I saw it July 16th. Edit pic: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason2215 Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 I have the Borgeson shaft on my Bronco. Install was easy, directions kind of suck but there are YouTube videos. Also, the surface rusts really quickly. I would suggest painting/coating it before install if you don't want it to look old 2 weeks after install (like mine did).
