Steering control valve
Well I took my power steering control valve apart today as part of my suspension rebuild, I think I figured out why it was leaking, seems I am missing one half of the ball seat! The inner seat is completely missing, The boot on the valve was a piece of rubber hose bubba had wrapped around the valve and help on with ty-wraps.
Anyone have a parts valve layin around?

Are these what you need? I just now pulled them from an old Saginaw.

Heh, whoops. Well I sure don't have an extra of those. I'll back out of this thread with my head down and my tail between my legs. Sorry.

Yea the control valve, there are (supposed to be) 2 ball seat cups in there and mine was missing one. I thought it looked funny when I took it apart and didn't notice what it was until I went to put it back together.
Roger if you have one I would sure appreciate it. I hate to spend $85 for a rebuilt valve when I can make this one work with a Kit. All the bores look good, no scars.
