Just replaced the power steering box in my 66 Satelite.
Was primarily for a leak.,,, but also partly due to how it drove. It seemed to dart around a bit on crappy roads. Like the box had a lot of excessive play in it. I tried to adjust the box but no matter which direction I went it made no difference or got worst.
So,,,I bought a reman box. Got it finished today and not sure of the issue I am having. It makes no sense
Just drove it and noticed drives a little better but has a noticeable difference in the power assist in required effort from left to right. I honestly dont remember if it had this before or not.
Turns left super easy,,,, but requires a good bit more effort to turn to the right. Not manual steering effort but definitely more than the opposite direction
Jacked it up thinking for sure I had a valve off center.
But started it up and steering wheel stays rock solid in the center while up, I turned the steering wheel and I can notice an effort difference even while jacked up in the air with both front wheels hanging
