Default New Borgeson Steering Unit - Possible Issue

Hey all, bought a Borgeson steering unit after my PS cylinder busted and my steering box was in serious need of a rebuild. I went to install it and noticed that right out of the box, the Borg box seems to bind up when I get close to center and then it gets easier to turn once I get past that. Same goes for turning it towards the other direction. Is that normal? Here is a video link. Thanks in advance for the help!

ITS PERFECT! The Saginaw steering box gets tighter towards center as designed by the factory. This is why it is important to have the steering box centered when you install it. Make sure it is at the tight point when the wheels are pointed straight ahead...

The further you turn the wheels the "looser" the box gets and that's how they're intended to be.
