Detailed Product Information

Cardone’s Power Steering Reservoir line is built as a stand-alone replacement for a worn or clogged remote reservoir, or as part of a broader power steering service. On vehicles such as the 1999-2005 Hyundai Sonata, 2001-2006 Kia Optima, and 2001-2006 Kia Magentis, a restricted reservoir can be mistaken for a failing pump. Part number 3R-313 is engineered to restore proper fluid storage and flow while maintaining the original equipment layout.

This part cross-references Hyundai/Kia 5717638010 for the same application.

What It Can Help Address

• Power steering noise caused by restricted fluid flow
• Foaming fluid from trapped air or poor reservoir condition
• Leaks from cracked reservoir bodies or hose tube areas
• Reduced steering assist linked to contaminated or clogged reservoir passages
• Service issues on remote-mounted power steering systems

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 1999-2005 Hyundai Sonata, N/A. Fits 2001-2006 Kia Optima, N/A. Fits 2001-2006 Kia Magentis, N/A. The reservoir may be located on the firewall, inner fender, or near the pump depending on the vehicle. Inspect return and outlet hoses for cracking, debris, or fluid discoloration before installation. If the fluid is foamy, bleed air from the system after service to prevent cavitation and pump damage.

Quality Assurance

Cardone manufactures this reservoir to O.E. design standards and tests each unit to confirm proper fit and function. The part is made from O.E.-grade material and is built for resistance to engine-bay heat and vibration.
