Steering help

[Harry Alverio]

Hi guys! I have a question. I have a steering cylinder that has a bore of 1.5 , stroke of 7 and dis 10.2. If I change the bore to 1.75 with an increase in disp to 13, will the amount of turn increase to complete the 7 inch stroke. I am a bit confused and dont know what to buy. thanks

An increase in the volume of the steering cylinder as you propose will reduce your effort at the wheel but will increase the number of wheel turns you will have to make for any given turning action.

Two things control the muscle needed to steer and the number of turns lock to lock. The size of the ram and the ratio of the steering wheel pump. <br />there are specs which match up the cylinder volume and pump ratio. <br /><br />

Yes, more turns “lock to lock”
