Tube clamp for mounting ram to tie rod

[readymix]

That thing from McMaster is $81.74. That ain't gonna cut it.

Mad has them for $30 but the wrong size. They start at 1.5" and go up from there.

This isnt mine, but its similar. This is scoobydanns rig.

I know several people with this set up, and there is no better way to mount a ram IMO. No clearance issues, and out of the way of getting smashed. This set-up will also give you more assist. The ram steering one knuckle and the steering box steering the other with no middle man (tie rod).

I like that. I bet it also distributes the force better than putting mechanical and hydro all into the same point. (right click save as)

You lost me on the no Tie Rod. Isn't that a tie rod below the springs???

hes sayin that the hydro assis isnt connected to the tie-rod, just the steering arm, so its a better setup

Thanks, I was imagining bad things with no tie rod and the ram controlling one wheel and power steering pump controlling the other. Could be tough to keep good alignment.

You have a PM.

Could be tough to keep good alignment.

The tie-rod is still there, so the alignment isnt an issue.
