shopping for kit, to rebuild power steering

RalphWD45 · Jul 13, 2015

I need to fix my steering control valve, and need someone to point me in the right direction, where to secure new parts. I have a gas, S 55, with power steering. A previous owner, took the lines off the steering control valve on the column, and didn't plug the holes, where the lines screw in. Years of rain and dirt, in that valve. I have pressure to the column, but nothing passes thru, to the cylinders. I have the IT manual 0-201 ,and have been studding it, and It walks you step by step, thru the rebuild, however it is plain to see, that a bunch of O rings and seals, will be needed, other than trying to source a seal- O ring kit the rest of it is simple.( like a swiss watch, or maybe building a working rocket)Where shood I start trying to get the seals and O rings?? Guys don't bother correcting me on my spelling, cause it ain't going to get no better!

Well I am going to ask you a stupid question. The original Super 55 power steering units were Char-Lynn units. Most of those got swapped out for the later Saginaw units. Which unit do you have? We worked on a Saginaw unit the other year and we got the parts as individual pieces. Not a bad job to do.

My IT manual, refers to it as a Saginaw, I guess I will have to inspect it carefully, and see if I can identify it.
