In the late 1980s, many cars now had wide front tires and it was difficult to route hydraulic lines from the engine bay to the front of the vehicle and the rack. Many of the first systems were electro-hydraulic with a electric motor powering a hydraulic pump. This technology eventually made its way to cars and even trucks.

When the spool valve has torque applied to it, the openings get larger to apply more hydraulic force. Another piece of advice given by some OEMs and replacement part manufacturers is to clean or even replace the reservoir. This makes the pump work harder to generate more volume and pressure. This also creates heat.
