IML: power steering control valve seals

["mike and linda sutton" <mikanlin62@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Mopar still sells the seals, they arent an o-ring as much as they are a quad 
ring, but thats hard to see given their size.  Chrysler used the same valve 
from 62 to forever, in the older rear drive stuff so you shouldnt have any 
problem finding them at a dealership.  I bought a set, you actually get a 
package of seals but you only need the quad rings, about 3 years ago and it 
was not at all expensive...under 10 bucks as I recall.  The only trouble 
here is finding a dealership with someone who is actually familiar enough 
with the older cars and can use a paper catalog on the chance its not still 
in the computer.  The other thing, youll have to adjust the centering of the 
valve after you put in new seals otherwise the wheels will want to turn to 
one side or the other depending on where the valve thinks its center is. 
Scribing a line around the valve before you remove it isnt a bad thing to do 
before you take it apart.

Hope this helps
