Here I go again with weird problems....

I have noticed that while driving my car it is harder to make left turns than right hand turns. The wheel turns easier to the right. The problem seems to be only at certain times and intermitant. This is only started after I replaced my power steering belt. What could be the problem? My alignment seems ok. The car doesn't pull in any direction when driving straight.

The spool valve in the steering box has malfunctioned. The easoest thing to do would be to replace the steering box.

Thanx,ANDYZ28

Thaks for the advice. Buy the way what models had the quick steering box? If I have to get one from Hawks how much would it be ballpark? Thanks for the information.

They're sold at www.classicindustries.com and easily identified by the "quick ratio steering box" heading. Of course those meatsticks do want $300 for it!

Thanks I'll try the junk yards first. If I don't find one then at least I do have an option.
