About the Cardone Power Steering Reservoir Product Line

The Cardone Power Steering Reservoir line focuses on providing replacement reservoirs that meet OEM specifications for power steering fluid containment. These reservoirs are engineered to maintain proper fluid levels and prevent leaks, supporting the overall health of the steering system. The 3R-212 model continues this approach with a plastic construction and included cap, designed for remote mounting applications in specific Acura and Honda vehicles.

Detailed Product Description

This power steering reservoir is made from white plastic, offering resistance to corrosion and fluid degradation. The included cap helps maintain a sealed environment to prevent contamination and fluid foaming, which can occur when air is trapped inside the system. The remote-mounted design allows for installation flexibility, accommodating the layout of power steering components in vehicles like the Honda Accord and Acura TL. While mounting brackets and hardware are not included, the reservoir is designed for straightforward replacement in compatible models.

Common Applications and Issues Addressed

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Cardone 3R-212 reservoir, ensure the system is depressurized and fluid is drained to avoid spills. Since mounting hardware and brackets are not included, reuse existing components or source compatible parts. Verify the reservoir location, which may vary by vehicle model, typically found behind the power steering pump. After installation, bleed the power steering system to remove trapped air and prevent fluid foaming.
