My power steer control valve was leaking and the ball stud had signs of movement so I removed it from my car to overhaul. I fitted a new ball stud and the seals in the control valve. When I installed everything back to how it was prior I couldn't fit the end cap as the threaded stud was sticking out too far. Have I not screwed the ball stud housing on far enough even though it is the same position prior. Or is the threaded stud not screwed in far enough?
When I assembled it without the end cap it pulled to the left with the engine running and the front raised. I think this adjustment would be altered at the spring loaded stud.
I would really appreciate any help with this issue.
First photo shows how far on the housing was screwed on prior to dismantling.
