Product Details

Cardone’s Power Steering Reservoir line focuses on direct replacement reservoirs that follow original equipment design and function. This 3R-311 reservoir is intended for vehicles where the reservoir is mounted away from the pump, and it can be used as a stand-alone replacement when the original reservoir is clogged, cracked, or leaking. For 2001-2006 Hyundai Elantra models, it provides an OE-style solution that supports proper fluid storage and system operation.

This part cross-references Hyundai 571502D000 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Leaking reservoir body caused by cracking or age-related wear
• Restricted fluid flow from a clogged remote reservoir
• Foaming power steering fluid caused by trapped air in the system
• Noisy steering operation related to fluid contamination or poor circulation
• Loss of steering assist caused by reservoir-related flow issues

Installation Notes and Tips

On the Hyundai Elantra, the reservoir location can vary by vehicle layout, including firewall, inner fender, or pump-adjacent mounting. Inspect the return and outlet hoses for cracks, debris, or internal breakdown before installation, and bleed air from the system after service to prevent foaming and cavitation. If the fluid is dark, gray, or contaminated, service the fluid and inspect the hoses at the same time.

Quality Assurance

Each Cardone reservoir is 100% tested to verify proper fit and function before it leaves the factory. It is manufactured to match OE fit, function, and performance using OE-grade material, with filtration efficiency maintained on versions that include an integrated filter.
