Tech Question
bob robeson, knoxville, TN, 1964, POlymouth, Barracuda 273
I am trying modify the power steering on my car. I have no road feel above 30 mph as I'm sure you know. I would like your opinion on doing the following: Replace the pump bypass valve spring with a weaker spring to allow more bypass and hopefully less steering assist. Have you ever heard of anyone trying this, and was it successful? Any help with this would be very helpful. Enjoy your tech section and magazine.
Bob-
That won't do it. It will just run out of assist sooner when parking, etc. What needs to change are the flat-disc reaction springs (in the chuck itself) and it needs to be select hand-fit assembled, etc.
Truthfully, you'd be way ahead giving Firm Feel (www.firmfeel.com) their due!
And, if it were my A-body, it'd have 16:1 manual in about a half hour! (yes, from Firm Feel.) Also, cranking up the caster helps.
