Borgeson Steering Shaft 80-91 Ford F-250/F-350
Description
Overview
Improve steering precision and regain control behind the wheel of your 80–91 Ford F-250/F-350 with the Borgeson Heavy-Duty Steering Shaft. Worn factory steering shaft components can contribute to excessive steering play, wandering, and an inconsistent feel on the road. This upgraded shaft replaces the original assembly with a heavy-duty design that creates a more dependable connection between the steering column and steering gearbox. Whether you're restoring an older Ford diesel or refreshing a hardworking truck, this upgrade helps deliver tighter steering response and more predictable handling.
Built from heavy-duty telescopic steel, this steering shaft features two billet-steel universal joints for a strong, durable connection between the steering column and steering box. The telescoping design accommodates movement during driving and allows for proper fitment during installation. Engineered for dependable performance, this assembly is a durable replacement for aging factory components.

About Borgeson
At Diesel Power Products we not only sell Borgeson steering shafts we run them on our own trucks. They are a huge improvement over the stock shaft and will eliminate the shortcomings of the stock set-up permanently.
BORGESON Universal heavy-duty replacement shafts are a vast improvement over OEM and can take anything you throw at them. They are so sure they will outlast your truck that they give you a Five Year Warranty
Borgeson assembly is so much better than stock because of the precision, zero-play, sealed needle bearing U-joint machined from a solid steel billet. It's not a cheap stamping like the OEM. Borgeson steering shafts telescope for easy installation and are permanently lubed and sealed. The telescoping shaft easily handles misalignment from body-lifts and extreme off-roading.
Most OEM shafts have similar couple/flex-joint design, so we now have replacement shafts for Dodge, Chevy/GMC. Ford and Jeep. Some feature a vibration reducer to isolate road shock. Installation is easily done with common hand tools. The tight feel of the BORGESON steering shaft assembly will transform the truck! Borgeson has been making the finest automotive, aerospace and industrial U-joints available since 1914.
You can find BORGESON universal joints on the fastest racing machines and hottest street rods in the world including:
For your diesel truck this translates into a much tighter steering feel that will last. We have seen play in the sector shaft with as little as 5000 miles on a new truck. These shafts are a must for anybody with a diesel running tires ANY larger than stock.
