Valve Body Assembly: Inspection
- Wash all parts in solvent. Dry with compressed air. Check for evidence of leaks between stub shaft and torsion bar. Check for nicks and scores on stub shaft. If possible, smooth stub shaft using crocus cloth. Check notch in valve body skirt for wear.NOTE: Valve body is precision-built unit with selectively fitted and balanced components. If any component is faulty, entire assembly MUST be replaced.
- Check spool valve fit in valve body with "O" ring removed. Lubricate spool valve with power steering fluid. Rotate spool valve in valve body. If valve does not rotate freely, replace complete valve assembly.
