[QUOTE="JDodd, post: 318878, member: 3629"] I have designed a lightweight IFS suspension and I'm just wanting to see what ideas yall have to power the steering. I've been looking at a dune buggy type rack and pinion and there seems to be 3 ways to power it 1) Electric assist 2) Charlynn Torque Generator 3) Hydraulic ram assist Im not familiar with the Charlynn but it looks like it is the easiest one to hook up from the small amount of space and it just runs of a pump, but from what I've read they do not recommend this for high speeds due to how rapid it will turn. The electric assist seems to be the best for what I'm wanting to do with the ease of mounting but my concern is the controlling system and the reliability I just add the ram to the list so yall would know I looked into it but theres not enough room. Heres some pictures to help yall understand what I'm doing [URL=http://s1081.photobucket.com/user/pjd2n/media/IFS2.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1081.photobucket.com/albums/j359/pjd2n/IFS2.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1081.photobucket.com/user/pjd2n/media/IFS1-1.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1081.photobucket.com/albums/j359/pjd2n/IFS1-1.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1081.photobucket.com/user/pjd2n/media/IFS4.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1081.photobucket.com/albums/j359/pjd2n/IFS4.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [/QUOTE]
