RE: $1,000.00 bounty offered to fix COMP ARF A4 steering
From my vague recollection of hydraulics during A&P school, you also have to take into count the reduced force on the side of the piston with the piston rod. So as long as the piston rods are the same diameter, you need to cross the lines going from the master to the slave.
Maybe it would be worthwhile in running a pair of small stainless lines down the nose strut and have the flexible lines are short as possible, and have the same thing up by the retract pivot point to the master cylinders. This will eliminate some of the tube swelling
