The steering wheel operates an orbital steering control valve, which directs hydraulic fluid to the axle-mounted steering cylinder.

The included 160cc orbital valve replaces the steering-box control function, so the system does not rely on a conventional steering gearbox or mechanical drag link to steer the axle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy does the FHK200TC use a single-ended steering cylinder?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSingle-ended and double-ended cylinders are both used in full-hydraulic steering systems. The FHK200TC uses PSC's SC2205K single-ended cylinder as part of its complete full-hydraulic configuration. The cylinder style changes how the ram is packaged and mounted, but it does not mean a steering gearbox is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy use full hydraulic steering with large tires?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLarge tires create substantial steering loads, especially when the axle is locked, a tire is wedged against an obstacle, or the suspension is heavily articulated. Full hydraulic steering provides the hydraulic force needed to control the tires without relying on a conventional steering box and drag link.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy does this kit use a 160cc orbital valve?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 160cc steering control valve provides a controlled steering response for technical off-road driving. Orbital displacement works together with cylinder volume and pump flow to determine how quickly the steering reacts to steering-wheel input.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat steering cylinder is included?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe FHK200TC uses PSC's SC2205K single-ended hydraulic steering cylinder with a 2.5\" bore and 8\" stroke. The cylinder must be mounted so its available travel correctly matches the axle's steering range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill this work with a Dana 60?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Dana 60 steering axles are a common application for this type of full-hydraulic system. Because this is not a vehicle-specific bolt-on steering kit, the cylinder mounts and steering geometry still need to be designed around the exact axle, knuckles, steering arms, and suspension being used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan this system be used for rear steering?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFull-hydraulic steering is commonly used in rear-steer axle systems, but a complete rear-steer configuration requires the hydraulic controls, plumbing, cylinder mounting, and steering strategy to be designed around that application. This kit should not be assumed to include every component required for a complete rear-steer conversion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between full hydraulic steering and hydraulic assist?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHydraulic assist retains the steering gearbox, pitman arm, and mechanical drag link while adding a hydraulic cylinder to reduce the load on those components. Full hydraulic steering eliminates the mechanical steering connection to the axle and uses an orbital valve and hydraulic cylinder to control steering directly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes installation require fabrication?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Most custom axle and buggy installations require fabrication and welding to correctly mount the steering cylinder. Proper cylinder position, steering travel, axle geometry, hose routing, and steering stops are all critical to a reliable installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this intended for a street-driven vehicle?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe FHK200TC is intended primarily for dedicated off-road and competition vehicles.
