Corvette V8-350 5.7L (1982)
Power Steering Valve: Adjustments
1.
Disconnect cylinder rod from frame bracket.
2.
With car on a hoist, start the engine. One of the following two conditions will exist:
a. If piston rod remains retracted, turn the adjusting nut clockwise until the rod begins to move out. Then turn the nut counterclockwise until the
rod just begins to move in. Now turn the nut clockwise to exactly one half the rotation needed to change the direction of shaft movement.
b. If the rod extends upon starting the pump, move the nut counterclockwise until the rod begins to retract, then clockwise until the rod begins to
move out again. Now turn the rod to exactly one half the rotation needed to change the direction of shaft movement. Do not turn the nut
back and forth more than is absolutely necessary to balance the valve.
3.
Restart engine. Front wheels should not turn from center if valve has been properly balanced.
