Product Details

The Cardone 3R-204 power steering reservoir is a new, remote-mounted reservoir designed to replace a clogged, cracked, or leaking unit without replacing the entire pump assembly. On many Honda CR-V power steering systems, reservoir restriction or contamination can be mistaken for pump noise or pressure loss. This reservoir follows original equipment design and is built to maintain the same filtration efficiency as OE on applications with an integrated filter.

For 2002-2006 Honda CR-V service work, this reservoir supports clean fluid storage and stable circulation in the power steering system. The Cardone Power Steering Reservoir product line is focused on direct-fit replacement parts that align with factory layout and function, making 3R-204 a practical choice when servicing a remote reservoir on the Honda CR-V.

Common Problems This Part Addresses

• Leaking reservoir body caused by cracking or heat exposure
• Foaming power steering fluid from trapped air in the system
• Noise related to restricted fluid flow or a clogged reservoir
• Contaminated fluid from internal hose or reservoir breakdown
• Loss of proper fluid storage in a remote-mounted steering system

Installation Notes

Depending on the vehicle, the reservoir may be mounted on the firewall, inner fender, or near the pump. Before installation, inspect the return and outlet hoses for cracks, debris, or fluid discoloration, and bleed air from the system after service to reduce foaming and cavitation. Replace worn hoses and contaminated fluid as needed to help protect the pump and maintain proper steering operation. This part number, 3R-204, is intended for direct replacement use on the listed Honda CR-V applications.
