The PSC 2.5" x 8" Double Ended Steering Ram with -6 AN pressure fittings is built to handle serious abuse whether you're crawling over boulders or pushing through deep mud. Designed as the heart of your full hydraulic system, this cylinder is double-ended and double-acting for balanced steering force in both directions. The 2.5" bore paired with a heavy duty 1.5" rod provides strong, consistent steering response and features a grooved non-slip housing for clamp security and -6 AN pressure fittings for reliable plumbing.

• Proper hose routing and system bleeding are critical

Tech Insight

Cylinder bore size directly affects steering force, while orbital valve displacement determines steering speed (turns lock-to-lock). Larger displacement valves reduce steering input effort but require sufficient pump flow and tuning to maintain performance.

Steering Performance

Valve pairing affects steering speed (pump tuning may be required):

• 120cc Valve: ~3.4 turns lock-to-lock
• 160cc Valve: ~2.6 turns lock-to-lock (pump tuning required)
• 185cc Valve: ~2.2 turns lock-to-lock (race-only, pump tuning required)

Turning Force:

• 1650 PSI: 5,148 lbs of turning force
• 1800 PSI: 5,654 lbs of turning force
