[QUOTE="TBItoy, post: 746986, member: 1384"] Thats not how the sweet servo valve works. It is just like the front input servo valve in a power steering box, which directs fluid to either side of the rack piston inside the steering box. Except with the remote mount servo valve, you use it to directly power a hydraulic ram. The mechanical box is just there to provide resistance in the direction you are turning to flex the torsion spring in the valve and direct fluid to the ram. The idea is that the double ended ram on the axle takes all the abuse/does all the work. The application it was originally designed for uses a mechanical rack and pinion, with the sweet valve mounted at the input shaft, and a double ended hydro ram piggy back on the rack.
