Valve Body
Repair
NOTE: This repair is only necessary il one or more of
the valves in a valve body do not slide smoothly in their
bores. You may use this procedure to lree the valves in
the valve bodies.
1. Soak a sheet of #600 abrasive paper in ATF for
about 30 minutes.
2. Carefully tap the valve body so the sticking valve
drops out of its bore.
CAUTION: lt may be necessary to use a small
screwdiiver to pry the the valve lree. Be carelul not
to sclatch the bore with ihe sc.ewdliver.
3. Inspect the valve tor any scuff marks. Use the ATF-
soaked # 600 pagper to polish off any burrs that are
on the valve, than wash the valve in solvent and dry
it with compressed air.
4. Roll up halt a sheet oI ATF-soaked paper and insert
it in the valve bore of the sticking valve.
Twist the paper slightly, so that it unrolls and fits
the bore tightly, then polish the bore by twisting the
paper as you push it in and out.
CAUTION: The valve body is aluminum and doesn't
require much polishing to remove any burs.

7.
Remove the #600 paper and thoroughly wash the
entire valve body in solvent, then dry with com-
perssed air.
Coat the valve with ATF then drop it into its bore.
It should drop to the bottom o{ the bore under its
own weight. lf not. repeat step 4 then retest.
VALVE BODY
Remove the valve and thoroughly clean it and the
valve body with solvent. Dry all parts with com
pressed air, then reassemble using ATF as a
lubricant.

Check the boots on the driveshaft for cracks,
leaking grease or loose boot bands.
lf any damage is found, replace the boot

Removal
Loosen the wheel nuts slightly.
Raise the front of car and support it with safety

14).
NOTE: lt is not necessary to drain the differential oil
when the left driveshaft is removed.
Raise the locking tab on the spindle nut, then
remove the nut.

Pressure Control
Low assist at higher speeds:
When steering resistance is low. such as when driving at high speeds. or when driving straight ahead, the input shaft is
near or in the neutral position, so there is little or no flow to any of the power cylinder orifices, Most of the feed pressure
trom the pump is bypassed to the reservoir. Because of this, the pressure stays the same in both sides of the power cylin-
der, resulting in low or no assist.
vaz =- S\->/-\7/RETURN PASSAGE(To RESERVOIRI
VALVE UNITINPUT SHAFT
High assist at lower speeds:
When steering resistance is high, such as when driving at low speed, or when turning the wheel with the car stopped, the
difference in angle created between the input shaft and the valve opens the fluid passage on one side, and closes the fluid
passage on the other side, at each pair of orifices. The fluid pressure increases in the side of the power cylinder fed by the
larger fluid passage. This increased pressure pushes on the rack piston, allowing the steering wheel to be turned with light
effon. On the other side of the power cylinder, the return passage opens allowing the steering fluid to return through the
input shaft to the reservoir. The fluid passages to the power cylinder automatically change in size, increasing as the steer-
ing resistance increases. In other words, the passages become larger and power assist increases when the steering effort
would normally be high, (for example. when parking or making low speed turns). and the passages become smaller and
power assist decreases when the steering effort would normally be low, (for example, when driving at high speeds or
straight ah€ad).
