Replacement power steering control valves are 6 to 8 times the cost of a rebuild kit. I bought a kit for about $20 and rebuilt my own valve after watching the Willcox Corvette video on the subject.
It was not difficult at all.

I've had a couple "rebuilt" units that didn't last. I currently have my own rebuilt that is only about a yr old, but it doesn't leak so far. Watch the video above and do it yourself, or buy a new one. More and more, rebuilt parts are crap.

I have been buying mine from Vette brakes since practically they started in business, and have never had a problem.

I was told that the only power steering control value to install is a new one from Lone Star. Last I checked (about 6 weeks ago) corvette central, mid America, zip and Ecklers sell them but they weren't in stock. Lone Star told me they should have them in November. But be careful as last time I spoke to Ecklers they had new ones that weren't made by Lone Star. Before ordering, ask if it's made by Lone Star.
