hi
can some one tell me, what can be the problem with my steering.
when i'm driving and turn the wheel and let go. it does not retrun
straight or spring back. is this because of the steering control valve
or something else. it's a 79 vette
thank u

The control valve tells the cylinder what to do.Try adjusting the steering gear-it might be too tight.
