    I rebuilt the control valve on my 75 maverick yesterday. I am now having trouble with it. I have the assisted power steering when I turn to the right but none when I turn left... give Mr your ideas any will help otherwise I found a replacement control valve

    Did it assist in both directions before you re-built it?

    There are adjustments, you need a Ford service manual.
