    losing power steering under acceleration

    Did you have the front end off the ground when the steering felt like locked at 3000rpm and above? As I have similar problems I think that I will do some testing with mine during weekend. Mine does not lockup but now when remembering the issue it sure feels much tougher to steer at high rpm...

    losing power steering under acceleration

    My guess is that the two stage flow control valve is causing the problems I have and that is the main reason I have the Saginav unit waiting.

    Steering boxes - Learning from scratch.

    Yes I only resealed and changed the bearing and checked preloads and twiddled with the reaction springs to firm up the steering feel. I think that If the ballscrew assembly is sloppy or if tooth are worn out I really cannot see any reason to try to fix it as better cores are available for 50...

    Steering boxes - Learning from scratch.

    I would say that the rebuild is actually quite easy if you just have some patience. I followed instructions from challenger work shop manual and really didn't need any special tools, just some improvising with basic tools. Just don't dismantle the ballscrew assembly and you should be fine. If...
