Default c3 power steering

I was curious if I can replace the bushing only thats on top of the power steering assist valve, I found the rebuild bushing kits for the PS cylinder which I also need but cant seem to find kits for the valve stud that goes into the bottom pitman arm slot. Any help is appreciated

If you are referring to the 'snubber' bushings at the [frame mounted] end of the slave cylinder, sure. When they get old/hard/compressed, it is time for them to be changed. The rubbers are the same stuff used for shock absorbers; if you can reuse the washers, just replace the rubbers.

Can't help you with a source for the ballstud replacements.

Thank you, it looks like the stud is pressed in to the valve and cant be replaced only the whole unit, which stinks but thanks again for the quick response

You can rebuild every part of the ps control valve. Look at the vendors listed on the left.
