Too much play in the steering wheel ! Tbird 56

Post by Thunderbird83 »

HI everybody!
I have some play in the steering wheel and some oil leak just below the control valve on my Tbird 56.I have verified that the play come from inside the controle valve .Too play inside before the relay rode move
I think that I have to change the two seal on each side of the spool valve.
Do you know where is possible to buy a refurbish kit controle valve or do you know it possible to buy a complet controle valve
Thanks for your comments .

All the suppliers carry rebuild kits for the control valve as well as rebuilt valves. You have to send yours as a core. I rebuilt mine and it was easy. Hasn't leaked yet.
PS see my PM to you.
