Product Details

Cardone’s Power Steering Reservoir line is built for drivers who need a direct replacement for a clogged, cracked, or leaking remote reservoir rather than replacing the pump unnecessarily. Part number 3R-005 follows OE design requirements and is 100% tested to verify proper fit and function. This reservoir is used on 2002-2006 Nissan Altima, 2004-2008 Nissan Maxima, 2004-2009 Nissan Quest, and 2008-2012 Nissan Pathfinder power steering systems.

This part cross-references Nissan 49180ZS00A and 491808J000 for the same application.

What It Can Help Solve

• Low or inconsistent power steering fluid supply
• Fluid foaming caused by trapped air or poor reservoir condition
• Leaks from cracked reservoir bodies or hose tube areas
• Noise or cavitation related to restricted fluid flow
• Contamination from a deteriorated or clogged remote reservoir

Installation Notes and Tips

Inspect the return and outlet hoses before installation, since hose deterioration can contribute to debris, leaks, and fluid discoloration. Bleed air from the power steering system after service to reduce foaming and noise. Depending on the vehicle, the reservoir may be mounted on the firewall, inner fender, or near the pump.

Quality Assurance

Each Cardone 3R-005 reservoir is manufactured to OE-grade material standards and tested for fit and function before release. The design follows the original reservoir layout for the listed Nissan applications, including 2002-2006 Altima, 2004-2008 Maxima, 2004-2009 Quest, and 2008-2012 Pathfinder.
