Posted November 15, 201212 yr I have a Borgeson steering gear and have recently obtained a DSS steering stabilizer. I have read here that the DSS needs to be modified to work with the steering gear. Does anyone have the details of the modification?
November 16, 201212 yr Are you referring to a steering stabilizer, or a steering brace? Brace needs modded a little bit. stabilizer would not.
November 16, 201212 yr Author I would call it a brace, however as sold it is called a "stabilizer". http://www.solidsteel.biz/dss.htm Are you familiar with the mod required for the brace?
November 16, 201212 yr basically, the Borg box is a little bigger, and slightly moved the output shaft about 1/8"-1/4" to the right (IIRC). The brace, you'll need to "slot" the bearing bolt-holes to accommodate this, as well as the bearing's center opening, so that the bearing assembly can slide over a little to center on the shaft..A dremel should suffice.
November 25, 201212 yr I put a new Borgenson steering box on my rig and I had to move the the steering box mounting bracket on the stabilizer over about 3/4 of a inch. I just ground down the welding until I could get it off, moved it over and then rewelded it.
