Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hi Guys,

I have read that a Ram Assist Steering will be slower than conventional PowerSteering, can anyone comment on this ?

I am looking at putting Ram Assist Steering into my road car as I need to cut 150mm out of the power steering rack to fit with the A-Arm and as such will loose the existing factory internal ram setup. I figure I can do this and run an external ram assist using is existing P/S Valve on the rack.

BUT I am concerned about slowing the steering action down.

Any comments or feedback ?

I have ram assist steering on my car and its no slower then standard.

Alot of people have problems with it being slow though

Ok cool. I am thinking if you run a 2" ram with a stock steering pump it will be slow and resist turning. The factory rack ram is only 1" so the factory pump isn't going to like 2" but I may scrap past with a 6" 1.5 and stock pump.

Are you using the stock toyota pump on yours ?

the isuse with it is normaly the pump with a few mods to the pump you wont have an isuse with speed

and tom is useing a trail gear unit from locked up

The hydro assist that I did on a Runner with 37's wasn't slow. It is one of the possibilities for mine but too busy getting headaches with suspension set-up ATM
