Rebuild Steering pump; control valve; cylinder (+pictures)

[Vette-S.O.S]

Hello everyone,

There have been a few posts about steering problems and rebuilds.

I have found this page at Zip Corvette Products, which has many pictures and good information. Thought I would share with you. See links at the bottom of the page. Hope it is helpful.

That is some GREAT information. I actually whimped out here on my project and bought everything already rebuilt from Vette Brakes and Products. I also got a new rag joint from Paragon.

While on the subject, is there any adjustment to the stearing box? I see this inviting little nut and screw on top of it. What's SOP for adjusting this thing?

I think what you are looking for is given on the following page:

But, you might want to see the whole thing from the start.
Note that this example is with the steering box out of the car.

Hope this is of use to you.
