Noise, vibration, and harshness are on top of the list of concerns for all automotive enthusiasts. With the more frequent use of rack and pinions and low profile tires, there are more road vibrations transmitted to the steering wheel than in the past. Using urethane to isolate all the metal components, Borgeson has developed vibration reducers to diminish the annoying vibrations that are transmitted through the steering system and felt in the steering wheel. The use of the Borgeson vibration reducer results in immediate improvement in the steering feel. As an added benefit, this reduction in vibration has been shown to increase the overall life of the steering components, including the steering column.

The vibration reducer/u-joint combination (VJ) comes with a 9/16”-26, 5/8”-36, 3/4”-30, 3/4”-36, or 3/4”-DD coupler end and any spline or DD size on the u-joint end of the VJ. The VJ is also available in stainless steel with the same coupler options as steel and any spline or DD size on the u-joint end. Polished stainless is available as an option.

On some factory applications, a flexible coupling was used to attach the column to the steering box when there was perfect alignment. If the original column or box is changed, the stock coupling may not work. If a conversion from a long input steering box to a short input with an aftermarket column is done, a flexible coupling needs to be added. Borgeson offers the largest variety of spline and double D sizes to fit most applications. Flexible couplings are only available in steel.
