Product Details

Cardone Power Steering Reservoir 3R-906 is a new replacement reservoir designed to match OE fit, function, and performance. It is commonly used when the original reservoir is cracked, leaking, or restricted by contamination that affects fluid circulation. This reservoir is a direct service part for Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable models in the 2000-2005 range, and it can be used as a stand-alone replacement or alongside a full power steering pump service.

This part cross-references Ford and Mercury OE number 5F1Z3E764AA for the same application.

What It Can Help Fix

• Power steering fluid leaks from a cracked reservoir body
• Foaming fluid caused by trapped air in the steering system
• Noise related to restricted fluid supply or contaminated fluid
• Loss of steering assist caused by poor fluid flow
• Reservoir damage from heat and vibration in the engine bay

Installation Notes and Tips

On these vehicles, the reservoir may be located on the firewall, inner fender, or near the pump assembly depending on the system layout. Inspect the return and outlet hoses for cracking, debris, or internal breakdown before installation. If the fluid is gray or black, flush the system and bleed air from the steering circuit after service to prevent cavitation and noise.

Quality Assurance

Cardone manufactures this reservoir to OE design standards and tests each unit for proper fit and function before release. The reservoir is built from OE-grade material and is designed to resist cracking in high-temperature engine compartment conditions.
