not sure if i should be in the genaral forum but..

I see ALOT of people have hydraulic steering, i can see why because with my 39 its pretty rough, it squeaks quite often,

but i dont understand how it works that much?

Would anyone have info or pics of them?? where you can get it??
and
what parts on your truck do you keep on there and what parts do you get rid of??? do you keep your tie rod on or ???

any info would be appreciated

thanks

Sorry, it's never been done before (http://www.pirate4x4.com/tech/billavista/PR-Hydro_Steering/index.html). It's impossible (http://www.pirate4x4.com/tech/billavista/PR-Hydro_Steering/index1.html).

so your saying no one has hydraulic steering

cause i thought for sure i've seen that on here before

well i guess i'll try to get info about it somewhere else!!!

since no one wants to help

....Click on the links he posted there. *Hint* They're hidden in the words "before" and "impossible". :flipoff2:

Read BillVistas articles on it. Then go buy a read star and you have a search button. Read all about it. Also one of the 4x4 rags had an intro to hydro steering article a month or two back. There are two diffrent types, hydro assist and full hydro. technicly is a hydrostatic steering system.

With an assist you use your cross-over steering box with all your drag links and high steering stuff along with a hydralic cylinder to move the tires. Usally the cylinder does most of the work but you keep a mechanical link to your steering. Great for DD's and pretty easy to setup.

Then you get to full hydrostatic steering. There is no mechanical link between the steering wheel and the axle-just fluid. You use a high output power steering pump to push fluid to a control valve(wrongly named "orbital valve") that goes on the end of the steering shaft. This directs the fluid to usally a double ended ram. This setup is tons more work to setup. You have to use quality parts when you do this because if you have somthing fail, or loose a line, you loose your steering input to the axle. AKA if your asking about it, you dont need this style.

Go google hydraulic assist steering or somthing. There are TONS of articles on it. Did I make any sense?

Call sean at POS www.performanceoff-road.com He is a good guy and knows his shit about hydro steering.

Exactly. Speaking of that I need to call him see where my badass stuff is at! haha

yes you can build the hydro sterring but it is a pain in the ass. what you do is go look at how it is setup on a small tractor and use your amagination. also if you have to drive you rig on the road the hydro dosent center well and tends to alwase need corectin on the road.

Here is a pic of my full hydro steering.



Your best bet is to wait and find a good deal on a full hydro kit in the classified section or PM a Hydro steering Vendor.

I got a pretty good quote from Rockstomper (i belive). For the application i need it for i was quoted 1200.
