<strong>I've run AllPro's hy-steer and standar with the Aqualu double arm. AllPro's, by design, will be much "slower". Aqualu's arm puts the draglink mount behind the tie-rod mount, while AllPro's puts the draglink well in front of the tie-rod. Simple Geometry differences account for the "ratio" differences - the steering/pitman arms are not the same length on both styles...</strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, Helv, Helvetica, Sans">Slower compared to what? All my standard and high steer setups had the same # of turns lock to lock as the stock '85 steering (to which I've made may comparisons to). I've run the AP double arm steering and the drag link connected to same point as the tie rod. In the HySteer arm, the tie rod is moved back towards the axle, but the drag link still attached at the same point, relative to the knuckle. Perhaps its slower than the IFS steering, I've never driven an IFS truck, so don't know how that compares.

When I first got my D60 axle with over/under crossover, it was slower than stock, since the low mounted tie rod was necessarily moved forward to clear the pumpkin and that forced the drag link attachment point forward, coupled with the same pitman arm led to a slower steering rate. I've since corrected that.

Standard to HySteer conversion
