Where's the power steering reservoir on a 1995 Park avenue 3.8?
The power steering fluid reservoir is located on the driver's side of the motor to the right of the valve covers and closer to the front. There is a cap w/a short dipstick on the top of the reservoir. You can tell its power steering by looking around or under the fluid reservoir-you will see the power steering pump and the belts.
The 1995 3800-11 is a transverse engine, with a single serpentine belt. The Park Avenue I have has the PSP at the rear of the passenger side and near the firewall. Standing at the passenger side and looking in at the engine, the PSP is to the left and the lower pulley to the rear, under the alternator. (which I found it easier to remove to reach the pump) The reservoir is on the rear of the pump with the cap hard to see except when looking straight down at the top of the pump. The pump has bolts reached through holes in the pulley, and the hoses may be easier accessed after lifting the pump. All I did was turn the steering wheel from lock to lock a few times to purge air from the system after filling it. ymmv
Maybe I was lucky because I can envision this job becoming a PITA.
How do you replace the power steering hose in a 2002 maxima?
Just unscrew both sides of the hose you are replacing. Compare it to your new hose, check if the new hose came with the proper O-rings if not reuse the old ones. Once you have tightened up both ends of the hose if is a good idea to use a floor jack to lift the front of the car just enough to raise the tires off the ground. Take the cap off of the power steering pump. Turn the steering wheel to the left and right until you do not see any more bubbles come up (add more fluid as needed). Once you confirm you dont see anymore bubbles put the cap back on, lower the car and start the vehicle, turn the wheel a few more times, it may or may not be making the squeeling noise this is normal once you drive it around for a day or so the noise should stop.

Replace high pressure power steering hose 2002 Maxima SE
My SE has 98k. Suggest reading most posts, esp. ones with pictures, esp.
latest 2010 ones. Taking off about an hour once you locate hose and bolts
(see pictures in forum)
and putting on about 1.5. because of difficulty getting banjo lined up
and reconnecting center bracket plate and screw.(I used tie wraps-
works perfectly). Attached upper bracket loosely then, let hose drop down,
attached banjo then center, then tightened top.
I used 10mm open ended wrench for flange nut, 10mm socket wrench for
2 bolts on upper connection, 1 bolt screw on middle connection, 24mm
socket with long handle for banjo, bottom connection.
Used turkey baster to which I attached long straw with clear box tape to
drain reservoir and quart plastic milk container for old fluid.
Also used alum baking pan for oil drain pan below banjo nut.
Of course plenty of paper towels for excess oil on hose.
Emptied reservoir first using improvised turkey baster.
Disconnected top flange first, other 2 holding bolts at top, pulled out
sensor plug, pulled back and after cleaning upper hose under insulation(
leaking fluid) ,disconnected center screw(center bracket) and then went for the banjo nut after jacking car up with Nissan jack and using standard jack stand on right side. Once removed tire able to reach banjo behind wheel well with 24mm socket and long handle. Be sure to place oil pan under the banjo nut.
Your hands will get dirty and fluid will leak after you place hose
on ground.(use paper or something else under hose).
Once disconnected took my hose to Pirtek, a national firm that repairs hydraulic hoses. They can do if metal ends are not damaged.
Their website is http://www.pirtekusa.com/. If in Southern Cali and near Commerce can talk to Mgr. Ramiro Galvez. Cost about 48 bucks and repaired in about 30 minutes in-house. Cannot do from mobile truck.
Very clean shop with friendly, knowledgeable staff. Say they do all the time because of cost or replacement hoses(see forum). Hose is better than original because braided on outside and steel braided on inside.
I suspect other nationwide shops are the same. Very pleased with work
and cost.
Putting back on by loosely attaching upper bracket bolts then
drooping hose in position, lining up lower banjo bolt and screwing in(hard),
then loosening upper bracket bolts, folding back top part of hose then
connecting center bracket screw(I used tie wraps), then reconnecting
upper bracket bolts, flange nut and sensor plug.
Fill reservoir to cold max, turn car on and turn wheel from stop to stop
slowly several times and check reservoir. B sure to fill to cold max.
Be sure to check for leaks esp. at banjo before replacing tire and lowering car.
Heard some noise(air in system) Local master mechanic sez takes about
500 miles to work out whenever change pump or hose.
Good Luck and try to repair if you can. U'll save bucks.
Where is the power steering on a 2006 RX8?
The power steering on the RX-8 is electric, the rack itself is in the normal place, then there is a torque sensor where the steering column enters the rack and the ECU for it is located under the main car ECU.
There is a common fault where the coolant overflow dribbles over the connector to the rack and causes corrosion, this should be the first point of investigation if there is an issue.
Power steering goes out on your 2007 Chevy Cobalt?
The dealer should replace it at no cost. GM had a recent recall on these power steering units, including the 07 cobalt. GM stated that the dealers were supposed to do this at no charge. A number of people started complaining that the power steering would lock up while driving, and that they had to shut the car off and turn it back on to unlock it. Because of this, GM did a recall around March of 2010. I am surprised your dealer didn't notify you....
It could be. Some cars use auto trans fluid in the power steering system.
It could be an expensive part as well as expensive to change due to realignment of the front wheels and replacement.

To answer your question, use an open-end wrench or pair of calipers to measure the old one.

I'm an automotive professional and have had almost no success with making my own.
