Cardone 3R-213 Power Steering Reservoir

Power Steering Reservoir for Honda Civic

Restore proper power steering fluid storage and flow with this Cardone Power Steering Reservoir, part number 3R-213. It is built for 1996-2000 Honda Civic applications and is a direct replacement for remote-mounted reservoir setups that can contribute to noise, foaming, or pressure loss when the original unit is restricted or leaking.

Cardone’s Power Steering Reservoir line focuses on OE-style replacement parts for remote-mounted systems, giving you a stand-alone reservoir option or a matching component during a full pump service on a Honda Civic.

Key Features

• Fits 1996-2000 Honda Civic, remote-mounted power steering reservoir applications
• Includes reservoir cap
• Designed to match OE fit, function, and performance
• Made from OE-grade plastic for strength and durability
• 100% tested for leak-free performance
• Resistant to cracking from engine-compartment heat
• Integrated-filter designs maintain OE-level filtration efficiency

Detailed Description

The Cardone 3R-213 power steering reservoir is a new replacement reservoir engineered to follow the original equipment design closely. It is intended for Honda Civic models with a remote-mounted reservoir layout, including USA-built and Canadian-built vehicles from 1996 through 2000. This part cross-references Honda and Acura OE number 53701S01A51 for the same application.

Because a clogged or cracked reservoir can be mistaken for a failing pump, replacing the reservoir can address fluid restriction, leakage, and aeration concerns without replacing the entire steering pump assembly. The white plastic housing is built for durability in the engine bay and is supplied with the cap for a complete reservoir replacement.

Common Problems This Part Can Help Solve

• Power steering fluid leaks from a cracked reservoir body
• Foaming fluid caused by trapped air or restricted flow
• Noise related to fluid aeration or reservoir blockage
• Pressure loss caused by a clogged remote reservoir
• Heat-related cracking from long-term engine-compartment exposure

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 1996-2000 Honda Civic, remote-mounted reservoir configurations. Depending on the vehicle, the reservoir may be located on the firewall, inner fender, or near the pump. Inspect the return and outlet hoses during replacement, since hose deterioration can introduce debris and contamination into the system. If the fluid is foaming, bleed air from the power steering system after installation to prevent cavitation and pump damage.

Quality Assurance

Each Cardone 3R-213 reservoir is 100% tested to verify fit and function before release. It is manufactured from OE-grade material and built to follow OE design requirements for consistent performance in Honda Civic power steering service.
