Installation Notes and Tips
When installing the Cardone 3R-203 power steering reservoir, ensure the system is depressurized and fluid is drained to avoid spills. Inspect hoses and fittings for wear and replace as needed, since the reservoir does not include these components. Properly secure the reservoir in its remote mounting location and verify the cap is tightly sealed to prevent air entry. After installation, bleed the power steering system to remove any trapped air and prevent foaming.
