If you’re looking to add some extra horsepower to your Mustang, then you’ll need to look at a power steering system from Borgeson. Not only do they offer high quality products, but their headers are specifically designed for Mustangs.
What is a Power steering system?
When you drive your car, the power steering system helps you move the car by turning the wheel. Power steering works with a pump that helps move the fluid around in the system. This system uses a pump, hoses, and valves to help turn the wheel. The main parts of a power steering system are the pump, reservoir, hose, and valve.
How does a power steering system work?
Power steering systems use hydraulic fluid to turn the steering wheel. The system uses a motor to create a rotational force that is transferred through the power steering pump and gearbox to the steering column. This rotational force turns the wheel, which in turn moves the car.
The type of power steering system you have will affect how well it works. The most common types are manual and automatic. Manual power steering systems require you to use your hands to turn the wheel. Automatic power steering systems allow you to drive without having to use your hands, but they still require you to activate the system by pushing a button or turning a knob.
If you want to install a new power steering system in your Mustang, be sure to check the compatibility before you buy anything. Many aftermarket power steering systems won’t work with Borgeson power steering because of their different designs. If you’re not sure if your current system will work with our system, contact us for help.

What are the different types of Borgeson Power Steering systems?
Borgeson’s Power Steering systems come in three types: electric, hydraulic, and pneumatic. Each system has its own benefits and drawbacks, so it is important to choose the right one for your vehicle.
Electric Power Steering systems use an electric motor to power the pump and assist in turning the wheels. They are the least expensive option and are typically found in small cars and trucks. They have limited power and range, so they may not be suitable for heavier cars or trucks. Electric power steering can also be jerky and difficult to use in turns.
Hydraulic Power Steering systems use a hydraulic pump to power the wheel turners. This system is more powerful than an electric system and has a longer reach, allowing it to handle heavier vehicles. Hydraulic power steering is also more responsive and easier to use in turns. However, hydraulic systems can be more expensive than electric systems and may not be suitable for vehicles with low horsepower or weak engines.
Pneumatic Power Steering systems use compressed air to power the wheel turners. These systems are more powerful than hydraulic systems and have a longer range. However, they are more expensive than electric.
How to install a Borgeson Power Steering system in a Mustang
Are you looking to add a Borgeson power steering system to your Mustang? If so, you’re in luck, because this installation guide will walk you through the process.
First things first: you’ll need to remove the original steering wheel and gearbox. This isn’t difficult, but it does require some tools (a screwdriver, wrench, and pliers are usually all you need). Once they’re out of the way, it’s time to remove the old power steering lines. To do this, you’ll first need to unscrew the clamps that hold them in place. Then, use a wrench to loosen the line itself and pull it out of the housing. Finally, remove the clamp from the gearbox and remove the line from there as well.
Now that the old lines are out of the way, it’s time to install the new ones. Start by installing the clamps onto both ends of the new line and screw them into place. Then, thread the line through the gearbox and tighten the clamp down on top of it. Finally, reattach the steering wheel and gearbox assembly and you’re ready to go!
