My daughter's 67 Cougar XR7 had looseness in its power steering control assembly. I got a rebuilt part, and had our local mechanic install it. The new one is loose too. Two mechanics have told me it should not be loose like this, and I looked at it while it was on one guy's rack. The valve body moves in relation to its mounting stud, about 1/8", when we move wheels back&forth. Stud is solidly bolted to steering arm with the castellated nut. The rebuilder is saying they are supposed to be like this.
Can anyone tell me whether it's supposed to be loose like this, or whether this indicates a bad unit that would wear further and/or increase likelihood of line leaking?
