Hydraulic Steering

[Randy67]

Pros of hydraulic steering: 1. independent front and rear wheel steering
2. allows for axle articulation
Cons: Loose hydraulic pressure = no steering at all.
2. Not DOT or street legal.



Alot of the off-road guys us it because of the extreme axle articulation, a mechanical steering linkage would interfere or just wouldn't work. The hydraulics allow for articulation without affecting the steering. See the attached picture for extreme articulation, although the truck still has mechanical steering.
