TERREPOWER formerly BBB Industries Power Steering Control Valve P/N:N401-0106
Direct the flow of hydraulic power steering fluid and keep the assist working with the TERREPOWER (formerly BBB Industries) Power Steering Control Valve N401-0106. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications: the 1966-1967 Ford Fairlane, Falcon and Ranchero, the 1966-1967 Mercury Comet and Cyclone, plus the 1967 Ford Mustang and Mercury Cougar.
The power steering control valve is the hydraulic brain of an integral-linkage steering system. It senses the driver's steering input and routes pressurized fluid to the correct side of the steering assist to help provide power-assisted steering.
- Directs the assist: meters power steering fluid to the steering cylinder based on steering input.
- Direct-fit replacement: installs in place of the original control valve on the listed applications.
- Serviceable wear part: replaces a worn or leaking valve to keep the power steering circuit sealed.
If a failed control valve is the source of hard, erratic, or one-sided steering assist, or of a power steering fluid leak at the valve, this replaces it. Diagnose the cause before ordering, since these symptoms can also stem from the pump, hoses, or steering gear.
Manufacturer part number N401-0106.
