Paul,
My new valve was marked as Lone Star as well. You will have to balance it.
I installed mine on wednesday and got my car on the ground last night. The steering is way, way better and no leaks so far. I changed the hoses and ram as well.
The only issue is the steering will (hydraulic) lock to the left when I am hard over. looks like I have some research to do.
I do not know why they wanted $150.00 for shipping, they said it was the UPS costs and would only ship UPS.
UPS sucks.

Nice "looking" new unit from Lone Star. Great shipping service from them and US Postal Global Express ($22.40). Arrived from Texas to Ontario in about five days. I can't get it in for a couple of days re performance but can't fault the process.
OP, where did that $150.00 shipping come from? That's simply nonsense.

I will second suggestion for Lonestar Calipers also rebuilds the valves.
I tried a cheap rebuild kit, waste of time and money, it still leaked like a pig.
installed a rebuilt Assy. from Lone Star, perfect out of the box, no leaks and centered, with new hardware, and reasonable priced.
