Power steering reservoirs made for motorsports are usually reinforced or made of metal as further protection sanctioning bodies hate oil spills. Consider a fluid cooler if heat remains an issue. A remote-mount power steering reservoir helps keep the fluid cooler outside of the engine bay, and frees up space for other modifications. Performance driving at the track or on the trail can also overheat the fluid, causing it to expand and lose its lubricating properties. Summit Racing also carries hoses and lines for your higher-pressure steering system. The hydraulic pressure typically comes from a gerotor or rotary vane pump driven by the vehicles engine. If you’re running a higher-flowing power steering pump, the larger power steering reservoir tank will ensure that there’s always fluid available. Hydraulic power steering systems work by using a hydraulic system to multiply force applied to the steering wheel inputs to the vehicles steered (usually front) road wheels. High performance vehicles often require a larger reservoir of power steering fluid. Also, it looks pretty boring! Just use our powerful Make/Model search tools to find a stock replacement, or a not-so-stock dress-up tank. Over time, your stock power steering reservoir can develop cracks and leaks, and it might have a non-serviceable filter inside.
