Re: No RTC (return to center) with steering, CPP

Is the pressure port on the box the larger port or smaller port?

BTW, can't believe they sell boxes with metric, pfff.

Sorry, asking here is better than calling cpp

Shouldn't the caster be positive instead of negative? That's what helps steering return to center.

The larger port is the high pressure.

Thanks, thats how I have it.
Oldly enough, today I can barely hear the beginnings of the power steering pump whine. Fluid is new, pump has 88k on it before the swap. I wonder if the box is effed up, making it not RTC and work the pump harder.

Does anyone else have this issue? Not so much with the steering set up I have, but stock or slammed and modified?
