What It Helps Address

• Foaming fluid from air trapped in the steering system
• Contamination related to a clogged or deteriorated remote reservoir
• Loss of proper fluid storage in the power steering circuit

Installation Notes and Tips

On the Honda Element, the reservoir location can vary by vehicle layout, but remote reservoirs are commonly mounted near the pump, on an inner fender, or on a firewall bracket. Inspect the return and outlet hoses before installation, since aged hoses can contribute to leaks, debris, or fluid discoloration. If the fluid is foaming, bleed air from the system after installation to prevent cavitation and pump noise.
