or you could use a single-ended cylinder and bolt that to the tie rod. trouble with that is you have differing turning speeds and pressures due to the different volumes on each side of the cylinder. one way to counter this is to use two single-ended cylinders, opposed, but plumbed in parrallel...

to the original topic, i believe adding hydraulic assist system that bolts onto the steering column is going to be extremely difficult to get dialed in correctly. the trouble is matching the input to the valving from the column to give just the right amount of assist. if the input into the...

no, i'm not. i never said that i wouldn't be on the hook if the modified steering system failed and caused an incident. however, my point was that failure of the steering system was just as likely as failure of the brake system. then you stated that the manufacturer would be liable for the...

no, you cannot do this. the solid tie rod and steering cylinder with links will have differing lengths thoughout the steering cycle. this is because the centerline of the steering cylinder stays fixed (as compared to the axle centerline) and relative to the steering knuckle ends. so if the...

we're talking about brakes again, right? oh, wait, that's right - when you need to panic brake (peak brake pressures) and a hose bursts, you're going to down-shift your way through the panic-stop. gotcha. obviously you fail to see the logical connection, and therefore fatal (no pun...

so, let me get this straight: if a brake hose blows on your deuce, then the family of the deceased will (successfully) sue AM General? and you, as the owner, are not responsible? sorry, but that's not how things work.

you mean like your brake system?

and don't forget about the dozens of posts that completely rebuke this statement.

now you make no sense why you wouldn't go w/ the PSC kit. $830 is certainly less than a $G, but you're more tempted to get an air-assist if it's less than $900?? which i had your connections - difference is, i'd use them.

you'll have to add a pressure relief valve into that system w/ that style pump. may get more flow, but system gets more complicated (and pricey).

yes - but it isn't a factory pump.

most automotive power steering [hydraulic] pumps are rotary vane pumps - adjustable displacement. typically gear or gerotor pumps (and other fixed displacement) pumps are spec'd per that displacement. rotary vane pumps basically provide a volume based on both rpm and pressure, where as fixed...
