Frequently Asked Questions
What does a hydraulic steering assist system do?
Hydraulic steering assist systems use a cylinder connected to the steering linkage to provide additional force when turning the wheels. This dramatically reduces steering effort when running large off-road tires.
Is welding required for this kit?
Yes. This version of the kit includes a weld-on axle bracket designed to mount the assist cylinder to an 8.0 AFM axle housing.
Will this help prevent steering component failure?
Yes. Hydraulic assist systems reduce stress on the steering gearbox, sector shaft, and linkage components by sharing steering load with the hydraulic cylinder.
Is this kit designed for off-road use?
Yes. PSC steering kits are widely used in rock crawling, desert racing, and extreme trail environments where additional steering strength and reliability are required.
Can this system work with oversized tires?
Absolutely. Hydraulic assist steering is specifically designed for vehicles running large off-road tires that place increased load on traditional steering systems.
