Steerage???
Ok - so I am going to replace my tie rod ends, control valve and steering ram. While I am there - should I go ahead and replace anything else? Does the relay rod go bad? Any other suggestions?
As always - Thanks in advance,

Re: Steerage??? (Scott A)
Scott,
A Heavy Duty idler arm might be nice. Relay rod shouldn't be a problem unless it was damaged by other components. What is the condition of your Steering Gear Box and Rag Joint? Power steering pump and hoses?
Several vendors have rebuilt steering gear boxes, The rag joints are available new from GM. I think a new rag joint would be better than a rebuild kit.
I presume your other suspension components (A arm bushings, ball joints, sway bar, and sway bar end link bushing, etc) are ok.
Good info in the archives and FAQ on proper adjustment of the the P.S. Control Valve.
