Power Steering Pumps and Reservoirs

Welcome to JEGS, your one-stop destination for high-quality power steering pumps and reservoirs. Whether you're looking for an electric power steering pump with a reservoir or a separate power steering pump reservoir, we've got you covered with a wide selection to meet your needs.

What Is a Reservoir on a Power Steering Pump?

The reservoir on a power steering pump is an essential component that stores the power steering fluid. It provides a constant supply of fluid to the power steering system, ensuring smooth and responsive steering. The reservoir is designed to handle variations in fluid levels as you turn the steering wheel and allows for the expansion and contraction of the fluid due to temperature changes. A properly functioning reservoir helps maintain the optimal performance of the power steering system and ensures you have adequate power steering fluid to operate your vehicle safely.

Is the Power Steering Reservoir Mounted to the Pump?

In many power steering pump designs, the reservoir is integrated into the pump itself. This setup simplifies the installation process and makes it easier to replace both the pump and reservoir as a single unit if needed. However, there are also some power steering pump configurations where the reservoir is separate from the pump. In such cases, the reservoir is usually connected to the pump via hoses or fittings. The choice between an integrated or separate reservoir often depends on the vehicle's make and model, as well as the specific requirements of the power steering system.

How Much Should It Cost to Replace a Power Steering Pump?

The cost of replacing a power steering pump can vary depending on factors such as the vehicle's make and model, the brand of the pump, and whether you opt for an electric power steering pump or a traditional hydraulic one. On average, the cost of a power steering pump ranges from around $100 to $300 or more. Keep in mind that labor costs for installation may also apply if you're not doing the replacement yourself. At JEGS, we offer a selection of power steering pumps and reservoirs at competitive prices, so you can find the right components for your vehicle without breaking the bank.
