Odd Steering behavior
Last month I replaced the leaking power steering cylinder. Noticable difference in steering resistance. Over the weekend the PS pump and PS control unit were replace because they were also leaking. Now the white princess has a strong drift to the right. The resistance to turn the wheel to the right is zero but turning the wheel to the left has a noticable resistance.
It seems like she wants to turn right all the time. Any one experience this problem?

Sounds like you may want to try to rebalance your control valve just a little to take care of this pull.

Yes, exactly right, it's done by popping off that ~3/4 inch diameter dust cap on the end of the controll valve, and twisting that nut wit the engine running, and the chassis end of the ram disconnected and waving in the breeze, untill the ram is in a neutral stance, and not moving in or out.........you could try it with wheels in the air, which is allmost as good, but takes some 'feel' for it....
