MB350950 Mitsubishi FILTER,P/S OIL RESERVOIR, Price: 6.21$, Weight: 0.005kg

Power Steering Reservoir Oil Filter

This spare part is a small but critical filter that sits inside the power steering fluid reservoir. Its job is to keep the steering hydraulic oil clean, so the pump, control valve, and rack can work smoothly. Clean fluid means lighter steering, less noise, and longer life for the whole system ✅

Why this part is needed

Power steering systems create tiny metal dust, rubber particles from hoses, and sludge from old oil. This filter traps that contamination before it circulates back into the pump and steering gear. It’s a simple safeguard that prevents expensive wear

How it works

As fluid returns to the reservoir, it passes through the filter media. The pores catch debris while allowing steady oil flow. Good flow is important because the pump must always have enough oil supply to avoid cavitation and pressure drop

What happens if it’s broken or clogged

A damaged or blocked filter can restrict flow, causing whining pump noise, heavy steering, foamy fluid, leaks from high pressure spikes, and early pump failure. In severe cases, steering response becomes inconsistent, especially when turning at low speed ⚠️
