Steering ram set up seems to always slightly push right.

[Winchested]

Hey guys just looking for some info.

I'm running a PSC 5/8"x 8.5" ram.

Seems it always wants to push slightly right, almost like the alignment is off. However I know I'm aligned 100% fine 1/8" toe in on both wheels, 5-6 deg caster camber is 0+/- 0.5 deg.

Just wondering if this is normal. Or if maybe my steering box is shot. And always wanting to transfer fluid to the cap end of the ram.

My ram is set up cap end on drive side, rod end pass side.

Thanks for any info fellas.

Rams are always stronger on extension.

Sounds like potentially air in the cylinder, it shouldn't wander or drift in or out

Assuming this is on an assist setup and not full hydro?

The cylinder is being pressurized on both ends most likely and the "cap" aka head end is winning due to working area and pushing out the rod. Your gearbox servo is most likely leaking high pressure oil into the working ports. If you had a double ended cylinder, it would not be noticeable as they would cancel out.
