I have a new to me rear steer rig and have a drifting issue with the rear as well feel like the 2.5 double PSC ram rear is relatively weak in comparison to my front single ram steering when bound up against a rock. (I do not know if this is common for a rear steer rig as this is my first one). I am running a single PSC pump, cooler, and reservoir. Here is the 2010 M&M buggy build by PJ at M&M Offroad. http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/general-4x4-discussion/848942-2010-m-m-offroad-buggy-build.html
The rig came with the following set up for the rear.
Northman Fluid Power Hydraulic Directional Control Valve – 10.7 GPM, 4500 PSI, 3-Position, Double Solenoid, Tandem Center Spool, 12 Volt DC Solenoids, Model# SWH-G02-C6-D12-10 | Power Solenoid| Northern Tool + Equipment
Northman Fluid Power Single-Station Subplate — NFPA D03 Pattern, 3/8in. NPT Side Ports, Model# M02-03-S-2 | Control Valve Accessories| Northern Tool + Equipment
I have read here and on Pirate that a chack valve can be added to the system to keep A and B closed to help with the drifting issue but also read that this was causing some cavitation in the system causung the stearing to pulse or shutter.
Northman Fluid Power Modular Pilot-Operated Check Valve — 9.3 GPM, 3000 PSI, Ports A & B, Model# MPC02 | Check Valves| Northern Tool + Equipment
Does anyone have any experince with this set up and can enlighten me on what I should expect with it. I am also open to other suggestions for a rear steer set up (looking into two independent systems) but I wanted to see if this system would work first as it is already on the buggy and adding a check valve is cheap.
Thank you
