Product Details

Cardone’s Power Steering Reservoir line is built for drivers replacing a clogged, cracked, or leaking remote reservoir without replacing the entire pump assembly. The 3R-322 follows OE fit, function, and performance requirements, and it is designed for systems where the reservoir is mounted remotely rather than directly on the pump. This part cross-references Hyundai 5717625530 for the same application.

On a Hyundai Accent, a failing reservoir can contribute to noisy steering, fluid aeration, or reduced system performance when contamination or internal restriction is present. Replacing the reservoir can restore proper fluid flow and help maintain consistent power steering operation.

Common Issues This Part May Address

• Power steering fluid leaks from a cracked reservoir body
• Noise caused by restricted fluid flow in the reservoir
• Foaming fluid from trapped air in the steering system
• Contamination from a clogged or deteriorated remote reservoir
• Heat-related plastic failure in the engine bay

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 2003-2005 Hyundai Accent, power steering reservoir. Depending on the vehicle, the reservoir may be mounted on the firewall, inner fender, or near the power steering pump. Before installation, inspect the return and outlet hoses for cracking, debris, or internal breakdown, 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

Cardone tests each reservoir to verify proper fit and function. The 3R-322 is manufactured from OE-grade material and follows the original design for the listed Hyundai Accent applications.
