My 2002 LC's power steering reservoir was cracked due to a crash, so I needed a replacement. I wasn't thrilled with the idea of spending $170 on a new one, or even $60 on a used/Ebay one. But, some internet sleuthing led me to believe another option existed. A trip to the local Pull 'n Save junkyard, and I came home with this, pictured next to my cracked original reservoir.

This one came from a 1996 Camry, and is identical in every way as far as I can tell. The steel bracket for the Camry is different of course, but the reservoir itself snaps in the same way. As a bonus, it's cleaner inside than my original, and was only $7. :D
 
In addition, the same part number for the Camry I got it from, is listed for certain 1992-2004 models of Camry, Avalon, Solara, and ES300's...so these are certainly plentiful. And the bracket they are mounted to might be more easily mounted in other random spots, for people relocating their reservoir.

Old thread revival...

Nice sleuthing!

Do you happen to have said part number?
