The 1967 Mustang is back on the lift, and what started as a quick alignment turned into a complete power steering teardown. In this episode, Jeff Ford walks you through removing the steering box and the entire slave-cylinder (control valve) power steering system from a 1967 Mustang — the same setup you'll find on the 1967 Mercury Cougar.
Before we could rebuild anything, we had to deal with some world-class Fabricobble: a 19mm socket booger-welded to both ends of the steering shaft. Jeff shows you how to save the factory 1-inch double-D steering column, cut the butchered shaft out without wrecking it, and get the control valve, power ram, Pitman arm, and steering box out of the car cleanly.
In this video you'll learn:
• The two different 1967 Mustang steering shaft setups (long solid shaft vs. two-piece with rag joint) and why it changes how you pull the box
• Why Ford's slave-cylinder / control valve power steering feels "skatey" — and the caster trick that fixes it
• How to crack loose finicky fittings with a line wrench without goring them
• Which Pitman arm and tie rod pullers actually fit these systems (hint: 3/4" jaw)
• The one ball stud that, if it fails, takes your steering with it
