New on the scene is CPP’s Adjustable Power Steering Flow Valve for GM Type II pumps. This easy to install valve can be adjusted to allow a wide range of flow rates to the steering gear box. What does that mean for the end user? With a twist of a knob the steering assist can go from “one finger” turning when cruising around town to near manual steering feel for performance driving.

In the video, Jason Scudellari shows how easy it is to install and adjust one of these valves. In the past, the only way power steering flow could be adjusted was physically changing the fitting on the pump. Now, CPP’s adjustable flow valve allows the installation of one valve that covers the widest range of flow possible.
