control valve centering
i just replaced my leaky control valve.
now the car pulls to the left.
it was aligned and tracked straight before hand.
i am guessing that i need to rebalance the control valve right?
i thought i did it right the first time but i guess not

ok, i almost have it perfect however it is still slightly off. does anyone know offhand which way on the adjustment nut turns the wheel to the right. is so close that if i turn it the wrong way i am going to be way off and i sorta forgot to write down which way did what.

Counter clock wise is to retract the cylinder. I did a write up on this about two years ago, here is the link if this helps you too! http://willcoxcorvette.com/repairand...lp.php?hID=188

ok so CCW (or anticlockwise for our british friends) should turn the wheel to the right so clockwise should extend the cylinder pushing the wheels to the left.
since it is pulling to the left it looks like a few degrees CCW is in order.
thanks
