This document is a labeled exploded-view line drawing of the power steering linkage used on 1963–1982 Chevrolet Corvettes, as indicated by its caption "63-82 Power Steering Linkage." The illustration shows the complete steering linkage assembly viewed from under the front of the car, with callout labels identifying each major component: the tie rod ends (labeled at both left and right ends of the linkage), tie rod tube, relay rod, idler arm, pitman arm, power steering ram, power steering valve, hydraulic hose, and the ram/valve mounting hardware including the reinforcement, mount bracket, washer, and grommet. The drawing shows how the power steering ram and valve integrate with the conventional steering linkage between the pitman arm and idler arm, and how the ram attaches to the frame via its mount bracket, grommets, and washers. A reader can learn the names and relative positions of all major power steering linkage parts, which is useful for identifying worn components, ordering replacement parts, or understanding assembly order during removal and installation. No part numbers, torque specifications, or written instructions are included—this page is purely an identification diagram.
