It is powersteering and if off the ground or revved the wheel will cycle to the far right. The alignment is set with a little too much caster but even and I run the tires at 30 lbs, 215/70/15s. Everything else int hte steering seems to work and drive fine although I have to get use to the fast ratio when I first get hit the road. I know it has a powersteering control valve but it doesn't seem to be adjustable or at least I cant see/found how to adjust it, the valve doesn't slide it only has one position.

Any help/suggestions appreciated, Kevin

Loosten the two bolts and tap the housing front or back to center the valve...Here's the most recent thread addressing the all-too-common issue... LINK

Thank you, I had seen a similar thread when I searched lst week but since I didn't see slotted holes on mine I decided it was different. I have to ask, wont I loose fluid when running it loose? I realize I only have to loosen it slightly but it is under a lot of pressure and of course my car is fresh. I know wha wha.

Thanks again, I'll try it tomorrow.

It shows that in the service manual.

Finally got around to adjusting the control valve today. Did as shown in Dayclona's post, worked like a champ. For the record it was steering right and I tapped it forward until it corrected the issue.

Thanks for help folks.
