1957 Chevrolet Bel-Air Power Steering Control Valve Rebuild

[@bettyleahy6661]

Thanks for making this video the factory manual doesn't help in much detail.One thing I noticed at 5:30 the fiber washer going on,the shop manual shows it under the seal in the vblock that is how I did mine and it seems to be working fine.

Great video. Having an issue with mine where i installed a new pump, balanced the valve, and when the steering wheel turns almost at the way to the left in pins itself and won’t turn anymore. Thinking there is a valve body issue.

Thank you so much for this very informative video,i have two questions please. i am planning to rebuild a control valve of 59 Mercury, however i am not sure what the correct kit to order as there is only (Bendix) stamped and i didn't find any other code or something and, sure if the previous owners had replaced or it's the original part? it looks very similar to this one on the video. How easy is it to turn the steering wheel on a stationary old car not moving? Because in my case it's very difficult to turn the steering when the car is parked, however once it starts moving it gets really easy to steer you can steer with a pinky finger.

j c I hope it is helpful to you!! I couldn’t find anyone showing a detailed break down on how the control valve is assembled and the factory assembly manuals leave a lot to be desired. I figured i would give a little back once i figured out how in the world this thing went together!!

Hi, when I took it apart and rebuild it, the steering wheel turns to the left.

[@cj15941]

Gonzalo Carmona Hi there Gonzalo,,, It sounds like you’ve got your pressure and return lines mixed up!

There’s a metal cap on the side of the valve. Remove it and you’ll find an adjustment nut. Adjust the nut back and forth until you’re centered. Wheels have to be lifted.

What's the part # for the rebuild kit

[@cj15941]

Ecklers number would be 57-140792-1 You have to make sure the outer sleeve and the barrel aren’t scored or pitted, though. There’s a guy in one of the tri-five forums that can put a sleeve in them if it is.
