About the Cardone Power Steering Reservoir Line
The Cardone Power Steering Reservoir product line focuses on providing reliable replacement reservoirs that meet or exceed OEM specifications. This line is engineered to ensure proper fluid storage and circulation within the power steering system, helping maintain consistent steering performance. The 3R-214 reservoir is part of this line, offering a direct fit for select Acura and Honda models with remote-mounted power steering systems.
Product Details and Features
The 3R-214 power steering reservoir is constructed from high-quality plastic, designed to resist cracking and leaks that commonly affect older reservoirs. Its white color allows for easy fluid level inspection. The included cap ensures a tight seal to prevent contamination and fluid loss. This reservoir is remote mounted, which means it is positioned away from the power steering pump, typically behind the engine bay, depending on the vehicle model.
Common Issues Addressed by This Reservoir

- Foaming fluid due to trapped air in the power steering system
- Replacement of worn or damaged reservoirs in Acura and Honda Civic, CR-V, and EL models

Installation Notes and Tips
When installing the Cardone 3R-214 power steering reservoir, ensure the system is depressurized and fluid is drained to avoid spills. Since mounting brackets and hardware are not included, reuse existing components or source compatible hardware. Check for any air trapped in the system after installation, as this can cause foaming fluid. Bleed the power steering system according to manufacturer guidelines to restore proper function.
