Slop in brand new Borgeson quick ratio box

[Scooterwrench]

There’s only 1 adjustment on a Borgeson…I’m pretty sure about that. @fancyTBI would know.

It has to have some sort of worm adjustment,maybe internally with shims. Really doesn't matter, it's junk, send it back!!!

I could be wrong, but I seem to remember that in fancyTBI’s thread. But, I agree, send it back.

Oh believe me, this box is coming out and getting sent back even if I do adjust it again. And I'll be letting Jeff know my opinion on the whole matter. I'm heading on a camping trip this Wednesday and don't have time to replace it before then, so tightening it up will have to do.

Unlock the steering wheel and grab the steering shaft and rotate it while watching for the input shaft to move in and out of the box. If the worm adjustment is loose adjusting the sector will do you no good. It requires a big socket and a pin spanner to adjust the worm.

The factory units have two adjustments, the input shaft and the sector shaft. These Borgesons only have the sector shaft. I did try tightening up my factory unit's input shaft nut but it just had too much wear in it.

Do your own rebuilds then you get to see if it is rebuildable, you can put quality parts in it and if it doesn't work you got no one to blame. These things are not some kind of magical device, just basic mechanical and hydraulic components. If it is the first time you've ever been in one go to the salvage yard and find a core that doesn't look like it's been pouring fluid out. If you fail with the rebuild turn it in as a core for a rebuilt or use it for a door stop.

Or hang it on a bracelet or necklace as a lucky charm
