4 Wheel alignment, will it help?
Hey guys, been gone a while but back now. Anyway, my 78 needs a rebuilt rack & pinion, (leaks like a ****) but my question is, in the mean time will a 4 wheel alignment help at all? It pulls immediately to the right at any speed.
Thanks Guys!

Is it a steeroids unit? If so they should help you fix it. Their customer svc. is very good.

No, from what I gather the R&P unit is original, I need a rebuilt or have mine rebuilt. Thanks anyway.

If it's original, it's not rack and pinion. Have any pictures?
If it's a strong pull, an alignment should help.

I don't know what was original with this car, my last 2 door was a Porsche 928. Anyway, I really don't know much about this peculiar Corvette, other than the power steering leaks badly. I can get pixs with my phone. From the pervious owner its OG.

Your control valve is bad. Very common.

I know I can get a rebuilt for $48, I'll just do that. Thanks Stewart's74.

They are fairly easy to rebuild and the kit for that cost about 20 dollars.
