this is the pump i used
http://www.pscmotorsports.com/sp1405...can-p-274.html

now that i think about it i think lock to lock was less than 4

this is what i have:

bore 2.5"
shaft dia. 1.5"
length 8"
volume 25.12 -- piston area x stroke
steering force retract 4710
steering force extend 7359
pump pressure 1500

volume of cylinder/ cu in of orbital = turns lock to lock
25.12/7.6 = 3.305

[eight]

At that you have 3.3 turns lock to lock in the retract direction, extending you would have 39.28 cu. in. volume for 5.17 turns. At the moment I think I will be using the double ended 2.5 bore x 1.5 shaft x 8" stroke cylinder. I figure with using the double ended cylinder I will completely avoid the problem you were having with the tie rod twisting and it doesn't cost much more anyway.

no that is LOCK TO LOCK.
its only 3.3 turns TOTAL

the only reason i had the problem with the tie rod twisting is because of psc's little adapter... it put all the force 2" away from the tie rod. it has nothing to do with the ram


edit:
wow im an asshole.
so apparently when i was in a hurry ordering parts i just "ordered" that adapter without reading.
i guess i was seeing what i wanted it to read

its not a "ram mount" its a draglink-tierod adapter.

drag link / hydraulic ram....I don't see why it would make a difference. In fact, I think the drag link would be worse cause it's most likely not coming in parallel to the tie rod like a ram would.

[J Cooper]

.. not coming in parallel to the tie rod like a ram would.

thats another factor in the added force that bolt had.

i need to bring that ram mount back about another inch or so.
it is not perfectly parallel right now.

[J Cooper]

You still tearing it back down for paint or just covering things up and touch up the overspray like me?

i think i should jump on at least putting some primer on these bare parts and move it back in the garage

this lovely houston weather since clayton has put a nice patina on all the parts

front brake lines
the adapters from the caliper to 4AN line were $25!!!

exhaust
2.5" w/turbo muffler--- muffler guy snuck that in on me. i like the way it sounds though

not sure what to do about the tail pipe in the back though
you can not see any of it unless you crawl under the jeep... so i guess its fine how it is.

(do not look at dannys fuel pump wiring job--- that was 7pm on friday IN clayton on the trailer) we picked it up on the way to replace the old one that went bad

i think he was ready to start drinking

more ...

I don't know if the picture linked, but is the bevel on the arm in the picture (looks to be the passanger side steering arm) on the wrong side? Thought it should be on the tire side.

ya,

its wrong, i will get another arm later....
when i ordered them i got them because it gets rid of the king pin spring, i did not realize that they were beveled.

the kit has 1 long arm and 1 short arm with 1 hole ( i did not like the way it looked) , so i ordered 2 driver side arms not thinking. <-- guess i actually wanted 2 passenger side arms, either way its wrong


oh well

[DRAGOONRANCH]

haha, sounds like something I would do.

it should be an easy change, if they won't make you a long one the way you need it, I am sure they can send you one with no bevel and you could get it machined yourself localy.

actually i just wanted shorter ones, i use the holes closest to the knuckle and i did not want all that extra arm sticking out.

but like i said i ordered the wrong sides anyways.

i guess i could get the correct one (short) and have the other side machined down to match

power steering cooler

... and look it drives right into the garage with 2" to spare

[J Cooper]

finally got the will to mess with the jeep again.

pulled off the steering to redo the tie rod ram mounts and extend the ram mount on the axle to make it more parallel.

check out the bolt we put in on the trail

[redcagepatrol]

that's some serious force!
