Because single vs double ended rams have NOTHING to do with overall steering speed being "slow." The only difference is a double ended ram has the same force/speed going both directions.
The only reason I posted the lengthy definition was because somebody said to get a "dual action cylinder" which just means it moves in both directions... which IS what you want... but that can still be single or double ended.
Hell, I could put a double ended 1.5x8" ram with a 5/8" shaft and run it as an ASSIST cylinder... and it would be the exact same force/speed as my current 1.5x8" single ended ram with a 5/8" shaft when CONTRACTING... only difference is the single ended ram has MORE FORCE when extending, and requires more fluid extending(due to lack of rod inside the cylinder which takes away from effective piston area)... it is slower extending vs contracting.
I'm pulling these numbers from my ass, but I think I could run a 1.75x8" double ended ram with a 3/4" shaft and it would be pretty damn close to the force and speed of my current ram when extending.
