Lemforder power steering reservoir
Lemforder OE number 22358 01

A power steering reservoir is a crucial component of a power steering system. It stores power steering fluid that is used to transfer power from the steering pump to the steering gear. The power steering fluid circulates through the reservoir and the entire power steering system, improving its operation and reducing the amount of effort required to turn the wheel. Without the reservoir, the power steering system would not function efficiently and could suffer damage due to overheating, leaks, or other problems.

By maintaining the proper level of power steering fluid in the reservoir, the steering system remains lubricated and reduces the risk of wear and tear. The reservoir also contains a filter that traps debris and contaminants in the fluid, ensuring that only clean and pure fluid flows through the system. Regularly checking the fluid level and replacing the fluid or the reservoir itself when necessary can help to keep the power steering system working correctly, prevent leaks, and prolong the life of the vehicle. Overall, the power steering reservoir is an essential component that helps to ensure a smooth, easy, and safe driving experience.
