Product Details

The Cardone Power Steering Reservoir line is built for drivers replacing a clogged, cracked, or leaking remote reservoir without replacing the full pump assembly. On many vehicles, power steering noise or pressure loss is traced to restricted fluid flow at the reservoir rather than the pump itself. This Cardone 3R-009 reservoir is engineered to match OE fit, function, and performance, making it a practical replacement for Nissan Sentra power steering service.

This part cross-references Nissan 491804Z000 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Power steering fluid leaks from a cracked reservoir body
• Noise caused by restricted fluid flow through a clogged reservoir
• Foaming fluid from trapped air in the power steering system
• Heat-related plastic deterioration in the engine compartment
• Loss of proper fluid storage after reservoir filter or housing wear

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 2000-2006 Nissan Sentra, N/A. The reservoir may be located on the firewall, inner fender, or mounted near the pump depending on the vehicle layout. Inspect the return and outlet hoses for cracking, debris, or internal breakdown before installation. If the fluid is foaming, bleed trapped air from the system after service to prevent cavitation and pump damage. Replace contaminated fluid and follow the vehicle-specific service manual for routing and bleeding procedures.

Quality Assurance

Each Cardone reservoir is 100% tested to verify proper fit and function before release. The design follows original equipment specifications and uses O.E. grade material for durability in demanding underhood conditions.
