Borgeson Power Steering Reservoir

Borgeson Power Steering Reservoirs: Engineered for Fit, Finish, and Function

When it comes to keeping a power steering system operating smoothly, the reservoir is a critical — and often overlooked — component. It stores and conditions the hydraulic fluid that makes effortless steering possible, and a poorly fitted or leaking reservoir can introduce air, contaminate fluid, and ultimately compromise steering feel. Borgeson Universal, one of the aftermarket steering industry's most respected names, brings the same precision engineering to its power steering reservoirs that it applies to its full steering system lineup.

Two Distinct Reservoir Solutions

Borgeson's reservoir lineup addresses two common installation scenarios: self-contained pump setups and remote-mount configurations.

• Saginaw-Compatible Self-Contained Reservoirs: Borgeson's Saginaw-style power steering reservoirs are designed to fit original Saginaw pumps and all Borgeson pump models, making them an ideal replacement or upgrade. These reservoirs are offered with different return tube configurations — including a straight return tube and a 90° bent return tube — so builders can match the routing demands of their specific engine bay. A variant designed for hydro-boost brake systems features dual return tubes, with one port capped for vacuum-brake applications. Every Saginaw reservoir ships complete with a new cap and seals for a leak-free installation right out of the box, and each is finished in a durable powder-coated black that resists corrosion and wear.
• Remote-Mount Aluminum Reservoirs: For custom builds, street rods, or any application where a self-contained pump layout won't work, Borgeson offers billet aluminum remote-mount reservoirs in both matte and polished finishes. These units feature an internal baffle plate and an O-ring sealed cap to keep fluid aerated-free and contained. Each kit includes a mounting bracket and all necessary hardware, so installation into a custom chassis or tight engine compartment is straightforward.

Why Borgeson Gets the Details Right

What separates Borgeson's reservoirs from generic replacement parts is the integration they offer within a complete steering ecosystem. Because Borgeson designs pumps, boxes, hoses, and reservoirs together, dimensions, port placements, and fluid flow characteristics are optimized to work in concert. The strategically placed return tube on the Saginaw-style reservoirs facilitates smooth fluid flow and efficient pump operation — a detail that matters on street rods and performance builds where every component must pull its weight. Whether you're restoring a classic GM platform, building a high-performance muscle car, or tackling a custom truck project, Borgeson's reservoirs are designed to fit correctly and seal reliably the first time.
