IML: power steering problem

["Robin Giesbrecht" <robings@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

My 72 has never steered as well as I would expect. It has always liked to 
turn left as opposed to right. Yet front wheels off ground and engine 
running nothing moves.My 70 Newport steers very nicely compared to the 
Imperial. Anyway I just resealed the power steering pump due to a leak and 
it was functioning fine. But driving down the highway this morning the car 
felt like it was pulling to the left. Letting go of the steering wheel 
resulted in the car sharply veering to the left. I tried this twice and then 
it started behaving "normally" again. Take hands off wheel and it tracks 
straight. I had not played with the steering box at all.I am thinking the 
servo valve was sticking. So the box will come apart next week.
