I would not suggest welding the front..... ever
hahaha whatever. i know several people that wheel with a welded front. no biggie
Volcom, how close do your ram hoses come to the oil pan on compression? Looks pretty tight...I know mine is...I actually have a couple small (clearanced) dents on the pan from the fittings on the ram lines
super pumped on this. next mod. How well does it steer on the road? does it get lots of over steer?
When bleeding the system all the parts should be connected. Is the ram attached at both ends? If not it should be.
Mine did the same thing. Ram wouldn't move until steering when to lock. Sounds like you still have air in the system. Let it sit and try again. You might also have to remove a hose (or both hoses) from the ram and manually fill the ram with some fluid. It takes awhile to get that ram full of fluid. My fluid would also have a ton of bubbles in it. I would let it sit for 30 minutes and come back and turn it back on and steer back and forth with weight on the frontend. I repeated that probably 5-6 times.
Help Me here. How is it possible for your ram not to move until you are to full lock. If the ram is attached at the axle and tie rod how could it not move together with the steering?
i pre filled the ram, box, and hoses-- guess ill keep tryingwhat is normal operation? both moving at the same speed?
ram is not attached to either
Wow, I didn't prefill anything and the first time I hooked it up, it bleed within an hour. 2nd time (after fixing a broken ram) wasn't as fast but still got it done.Yeah both the steering and the ram should move at roughly the same speed. Like the name applies, the ram is assisting the PS box. When you have the motor on, can you take the cap to the reservoir? Can you see a ton of bubbles in the fluid while the engine is running? Once you see bubbles, shut the motor off and let them dissapear. Also, I had to rev the engine higher than idle to get the air out. Hopefully you can get it figured out. I'm just trying to throw out some ideas??
Your ram isn't hooked up to the axle or tie rod yet? You might try hooking it up and having the tie rod basically move the ram in and out to help get that air out.
Exactly. The ram should be attached at both ends or you are wasting your time.
I'll give it a shot, everything i read said to let the ram hang down and what not
When you hook it up, make sure you get it centered along with the steering box centered. You don't want to bottom out your PS box and still have ram travel. Something will go boom.
i pre filled my ram and lines hooked it up and let it hang and it worked great right out of the shoot. I bet you still have some air in there. do you have is going through a cooler? i also pre filled my cooler and cooler lines as well
