Power To Manual Steering Box Conversion Kit

The BORGESON Power To Manual Steering Box Conversion Kit is a complete manual steering retrofit solution engineered for GM A-Body vehicles from 1968 to 1972. This kit replaces power steering systems with a manual Saginaw 525 steering box, delivering direct steering feedback and eliminating dependence on power steering pump maintenance. The natural iron construction with half rag joint and Pitman arm assembly provides the mechanical simplicity and responsiveness that restoration enthusiasts and drivers seeking authentic steering control demand.

This conversion kit addresses a common restoration challenge: sourcing compatible steering components for period-correct builds. The Saginaw 525 box is a proven design that delivers predictable steering input without the hydraulic lag characteristic of older power systems. The half rag joint and Pitman arm configuration integrate with the existing A-Body steering linkage, minimizing fabrication requirements. The kit's iron construction ensures durability under the demands of both street and light performance driving.

Buyers pursuing frame-off restorations, vintage drag racing setups, or street rods will find this manual steering box conversion straightforward to install. The complete kit format eliminates the trial-and-error sourcing of individual components from multiple vendors. Whether driven by preference for mechanical engagement, desire to reduce engine-bay complexity, or need for a reliable steering system in a restored A-Body Chevrolet, Pontiac, or Oldsmobile, this kit delivers verified compatibility and known performance in the restoration market.
