Question No power steering right turn only?
I have a 1989 f150 xlt lariat and the power steering does not work turning right. no idea why . Ive found a tsb on All data saying that the pitman arm has limited angle tolerance. any ideas ? thanks

My girlfriends Taurus does the same thing, no power steering turning right. But the Taurus is rack and pinion while the truck is worm and sector. Must be some kind of valve, I have yet to figure it out.

Do you think its the pitman arm, or just an stcky valuve in the integral steering gear?

IMHO pitman arm can't cause any power steering issues. The problem must be in the steering box.
