power steering

Recommended Posts

Does anyone know if there is an adjustment in the power steering system, '69 Mach 1. I rebuilt the control valve and installed new hoses. My steering is too hard in idle, not until I get going does it work. Any suggestions??

Thanks

Consulting my shop manuals, it discusses several possible adjustments and repairs:

 

* Control Valve Centering Spring Adjustments

* Control Valve to Power Steering Cylinder Hose

* Power Steering Pump To Control Valve Hose

* Steering Gear

* Power Steering Pump

* Power Steering Control Valve

* Power Cylinder

 

Sounds like a lot of stuff going on here. Am happy to take a screenshot of the relevant pages if you'd like.

Thank You Tom.

Magician gave me a website, pretty good stuff.

I will read that see if I can get somewhere.

Perhaps a rebuilt pump. After all, my car was not operating for the past 30yrs or so.

The steering pump is one thing I have not replaced or rebuilt.

I see what I can get going.

Thanks for the offer.
