Power steering control valve bushing replacment

[6s1640]

Hi all,

I have a very nice Ford 1968 power steering control valve, no wear on the outside, but the inside bushings are pitted.  Can these be pushed out and replaced? Please see images and advise.

Image 1  - Inside view showing pits

Image 2 - Side by side outside compassion, control valve on right with heavy wear.  This seams like a design flaw.  Left valve with inside pitting.

Image 3 - The warn valve with good insides.

Can the bushings from the warn valve be installed into the pitted control valve?  Is there a tool for this, maybe similar to a camshaft bearing tool?

Thanks

Cory

The wear marks can happen from not adjusting the tie rod clamps on the driver side properly. A illustration is shown of the proper clocking of the clamps in the assemblyline manual.
