    Eaton Power Steerign Pump

    Uh, sorry, but what you have there is an input shaft with the front shaft bushing frozen on it. There is a bronze bushing in both the front and rear cases. That shaft has been run out of fluid and the front bushing has brazed itself to the shaft and pulled out of the housing. Bushings are not...

    Eaton Power Steerign Pump

    The reason why you want to install the shaft through the seal from the front is to keep from damaging the lip of the seal. Going in from the front, the edges of the machining on the shaft is smoother and shallower. If you install the shaft front the back, that big step in the front has a...

    HELP, I.D. my p.s. valve

    If you have a 65/66 V8 Mustang, the ball stud area of the control valve is part of the end of the centerlink and the control valve bolts on with two bolts. If the whole control valve/ball stud assembly screws onto the end of the centerlink, you have a 1967 or later Mustang. In the odd...

    Need internal parts for 1964 Eaton power steering pump

    The notch does orient the cam ring because there is a small pin that fits in a hole drilled at an angle at the bottom of the recess for the cam ring in the housing. A small pin that it is easy to miss if you don't know it's there and will just as easily fal out and get lost.

    67 Power Steering Pump

    The canister and front housing are the Ford Power Steering Pump Blue. I have seen several NOS Ford pumps on Ebay and they are all blue.

    flaming rivers gear box questions

    The Flaming River boxes seem to be pretty good as I haven't heard too many complaints. They are made in Argentina. It just seems strange that they are supposed to be all new boxes and cost $400+, yet they only have a one year warranty. The Borgeson I haven't heard of many people buying, but...

    Whis is this leak ???

    That is a grease fitting for lubricating the ball stud. Attached to the ball stud area is the control valve, the part all four hoses go to. Inside the control valve is a spool valve that slides back and forth and directs the fluid in the power steering system. There is a seal on each end of...

    help with power steering

    Could be the travel stop adjustment is either too tight or too loose, causing a pop when the slop is taken up or when the bind on the ball stud breaks loose. Sometimes the inside of the sleeve gets a set of ridges worn in it and the bushing can hang up on a ridge and then break loose from it...

    To Power Steer or Not To...hmmmm

    What you describe sounds more like a loose or worn steering box, but the rest of the power steering system probably needs rebuilding too. If you are in the process of rebuilding your car, you might as well rebuild the whole system and get it in good shape again. Even if you decide to go to...

    ?Maverick steering box work on 69 stang

    The Maverick steering box is heavier duty than the Mustang box and also the components inside are larger. Unfortunately, this also means that the housing is larger and the bolt pattern is different, so it doesn't bolt into an early Mustang. http://www.stangerssite.com/steering_box.html

    power steering to manual

    Use a Tie Rod Puller tool to remove the stud of the cylinder from the centerlink without damaging it. If you don't have one, you can often borrow or rent them from an auto parts store. The Control Valve/Ball Stud assembly screws onto the end of the centerlink. There is a clamp that helps hold...

    Rebuild my PS control valve?

    No, it doesn't really require any special tools, but there may be parts that need replacing that aren't in the kit, the spool valve may need machining, etc. The kit also doesn't come with replacement hose seats, so you aren't doing a thorough rebuild. A quality rebuild doesn't cost 2...

    1967 Power Steering Control Valve 1/4" vs. 5/16"

    From the factory, 1967 Mustangs used the 1/4" size pressure hose port. The 5/16" was used starting in 1968. I know, I know - everybody says they came either way depending on when they were built. The fact is, the only sources that say this are aftermarket catalog listings. The Ford dealer...

    PS leak, like a sieve

    There are actually two sector shaft seals on this box - a double-lip seal and a single-lip seal - separated by a metal washer. Replacing just the lower seal may not help. The inner seal can be a pain to get out, even when the box is out of the car and stripped down.

    Who is interested in a turbo kit??

    Why not consider a "basic" kit that was similar to the Turbonics/Accel kit that was available for the 1965-1970 289/302 Mustang back in the mid 70's? It wasn't "high tech" by any means, but was simple, effective for low to medium boost levels and cheap. It had piping that hooked up to stock...

    Can I put 31 spline axles in an 8"?

    I think the problem you would run into is that a 31-spline axle will probably be too big in diameter to go into an 8" differential case. For example: The parts inside an 8" TractionLok and a 9" TractionLok are the same, so you could put 31-spline axle side gears in an 8" TractionLok. So I...

    Power steering issues with a EFI swap

    If the steering wheel is turning lock-to-lock, back and forth, when the engine is running - you have the two short hoses between the control valve and the power cylinder crossed up.

    Where to get a Ford-licensed windshield gasket?

    Check with your favorite Mustang parts dealer and ask for a repop made by Daniel Carpenter. They make two versions now, one is a slightly cheaper one made in India - they had a bad run of these, so stay away from them. Get their original reproduction gasket they have made for years. It is...
