How much does a used power steering reservoir cost?

The cost typically ranges from $30 to $85. Prices vary based on whether the reservoir is a simple plastic tank or a complex assembly with integrated sensors and internal mesh filters.

When should I replace my power steering reservoir?

You should replace it if you notice visible cracks or leaks, if the internal filter is clogged causing pump whining, or if the fluid appears consistently foamy despite proper levels.

Is it worth buying a used OEM power steering reservoir?

Yes. OEM reservoirs are made of high-grade, heat-resistant polymers that match factory mounting points perfectly. Many aftermarket units use thinner plastics that can warp or crack over time.

Can a clogged reservoir filter ruin my pump?

Absolutely. Many reservoirs have a built-in non-serviceable mesh filter. If this becomes clogged with debris, it starves the pump of fluid, leading to cavitation, whining, and eventual pump failure.

Does the reservoir come with a new cap?

We include the OEM cap with every used reservoir. We inspect the cap's rubber seal to ensure it prevents fluid seepage and keeps moisture out of the hydraulic system.

How do you test a used power steering reservoir?

We perform a low-pressure air test to identify hairline fractures and a chemical flush to ensure the internal filter screen is clear of metallic shavings and sludge.

Why is my fluid foamy?

Foamy fluid usually indicates air is being sucked into the system. This can happen if the reservoir has a crack or if the internal baffle that prevents fluid sloshing is broken.

Can I pick up a reservoir in Clifton, NJ today?

Yes! We maintain a large stock of fluid tanks at our NJ facility. Visit us for same-day local pickup and get your vehicle's steering system fixed fast.

Will this fit my specific model year?

Power steering reservoirs often change between model years due to engine bay layout updates. We use your VIN to guarantee a 100% match for hose inlet/outlet sizes and mounting locations.

How are these parts shipped safely?

Reservoirs are lightweight but can be crushed. We ship them in rigid boxes with ample bubble wrap to protect the plastic hose barbs and mounting tabs from snapping during transit.

Our 6-Point Quality Check for Steering Reservoirs

A hydraulic system is only as clean as its reservoir. Every Falcon Car Parts unit includes these features:

2. Filter Mesh Audit: We inspect the internal screen for debris build-up to ensure unrestricted fluid flow.

4. Thermal Stress Scan: The plastic housing is checked for "crazing" or sun-damage brittleness.

Common Questions About Buying Used Power Steering Reservoirs

Prices typically range from $30 to $85. At Falcon Car Parts, we provide competitive wholesale pricing on all certified used reservoirs, saving you up to 70% over dealership list prices.

Beyond visible leaks, you should replace the reservoir if your pump whines or if the fluid turns black quickly. This often indicates the internal, non-replaceable filter is clogged with metallic sediment from a failing pump or rack.

Yes. Since these are non-mechanical storage components, a tested used OEM part is an excellent choice. Our verification process ensures the plastic is healthy and the internal chambers are clean.

While you can clean the tank, the internal mesh filter is often inaccessible and traps microscopic particles that solvent cannot reach. Replacing it with a verified clean used unit is the only way to guarantee fluid purity.

This is usually caused by a failed cap seal or a clogged return line causing backpressure. We inspect every cap and reservoir seam to ensure the system stays pressurized and dry.

We perform a physical inspection of all hose barbs and a chemical dip to dissolve any internal buildup. We also verify the mounting tabs are not cracked or missing.

On many domestic vehicles, the reservoir is a metal or plastic shell that slides over the pump. We sell these separately or as a pre-assembled unit. Let us know your preference when requesting a quote.

Reservoirs are engine-specific. A V6 reservoir will likely have different mounting brackets than a 4-cylinder model. We use your VIN to ensure the part fits your specific engine bay configuration.

Reservoirs are lightweight but fragile. We cap the hose barbs to prevent breakage and ship them in reinforced boxes with high-density packing material to ensure they arrive in perfect condition.
