Product Details

The Cardone Power Steering Reservoir line focuses on replacing the reservoir itself when the pump is not the source of the problem. A restricted or damaged reservoir can contribute to noise, aerated fluid, and reduced steering performance. Part number 3R-325 is built as a stand-alone replacement or as part of a broader power steering service on Hyundai and Kia vehicles. This part cross-references Hyundai/Kia 5717639000 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Power steering fluid leaks from a cracked reservoir body
• Foaming fluid caused by trapped air in the system
• Noise related to restricted fluid flow through the reservoir
• Heat-related plastic deterioration in the engine bay
• Contamination from a failing reservoir or internal filter element

Installation Notes and Tips

Depending on the vehicle, the reservoir may be mounted on the firewall, inner fender, or near the pump. Before installation, inspect the return and outlet hoses for cracking, debris, or internal breakdown, and replace them if needed. If the fluid is foaming, bleed air from the system after service to remove trapped air pockets. For Hyundai XG300, Hyundai XG350, and Kia Amanti service, verify hose routing and reservoir location against the vehicle-specific OE manual.

Quality Assurance

Cardone 3R-325 is manufactured to OE design standards and 100% tested to confirm proper fit and function. The reservoir is built from OE-grade material and is intended to deliver consistent sealing and fluid control in the power steering system.
