About 2-3 weeks ago I finally decided to tweak my PS Control Valve since I had a slight "tug" to the right. I took my time and I pretty much got rid of that "tug" to the right.

However, I seem to have developed a "pulsating" which is a bit annoying. I have no leaks. PS Fluid level checked and is/was satisfactory.

Any ideas of what's going on here?

how did you tweak the valve?
did you jack up the front of the car, turn it on, turn the adjustment one direction until the piston started to move, then turn it the other way counting the number of turns until it turned the other way and then backed off to the halfway point of the number of turns?

Yes. Do you have an idea of what's going on here? How do get rid of these pulses? It's been a quite good PS system since I installed it like 20 years.

you sure it is power steering pulsating and not a wheel balance problem?

carriljc

Yes. It will do it while I'm sitting there not moving and just idling.

Followup: I got rid of the pulsating. I had over-adjusted the ps control valve by tweaking on it *AFTER* I got around to driving it.
Once I got it back to approximately ~centered, then the pulsating ceased.

Just following up in case somebody else finds themselves in a similar situation.

HeadsU.P.

You worked all the air bubbles out of it too.
