  Q: How to Maintain a Power Steering Reservoir on Dodge Stratus?

  A:

  Before refilling the power steering, remove almost all of the fluid from the reservoir with a siphon pump. After that, unscrew the holding screw between the reservoir and the coolant recovery bottle and lift the reservoir up from its guide. Undo the hose clamps from the Power Steering Hoses, remove both and take out the reservoir. When connecting the pipes, join the return and supply hoses to the fittings on the reservoir, making sure the clamps go past the upset bead on the fittings. Hold the reservoir in place and install the mounting screw so that it becomes securely fixed, tightened to the recommended 6 Nm (53 inch lbs.). Put the right amount of fluid into the power steering reservoir, start the engine and allow it to run briefly before shutting it off. Add or subtract fluid until the fluid level does not change after you run the engine. Should you discover such a problem, carry out the Power Steering Pump Initial Operation and check for any leaks.

  Q: How to Service a Power Steering Reservoir on Dodge Stratus?

  A:

  Use a siphon pump to first empty as much fluid as you can from the power steering reservoir. Lift the reservoir off the guide and remove the screw that was securing it to the bottle after. Lift the hose clamps holding the power steering fluid pipes in place, put the return hose into the reservoir and remove them all and next take the reservoir out of the vehicle. While installing, join the return and supply hoses to the reservoir with the clamps seated just past the fitting's upset area. Replace the reservoir in the guide on the bottle, then attach the mounting screw and tighten it to 6 Nm (53 inch lbs.). After filling the fluid reservoir, turn on the engine and let it run for just a bit. Adjust the fluid again if necessary until the fluid level stays the same after running the engine. Should it be required, carry out the Power Steering Pump Initial Operation routine and see if there are any leaks.
