Power steering reservoir replacement

[savirc]

Hi All,

Relocated my power steering reservoir to fit the slee second batt tray and noticed the power steering reservoir is in very rough shape, burnt looking with crackled upper plastic, looks like it wants to disintegrate from the inside out. New OEM is $160 but there are some really nice aluminum aftermarket ones for much less. My question is can I just replace it with an aftermarket unit? do I have to take into account amount of oil the reservoir holds? if so how?

I imagine lots of folks are eventually going to need to replace this, its aging plastic and its already not looking good I would rather replace it now then have it spring a leak somewhere.

Thanks,

I see no problem using an aftermarket tank except, most I've seen don't have a screen/filter. Also, the barbs might not be the same,exact size (but perhaps close enough in this application).

Did you ever find a good aftermarket reservoir that worked for you?
