Good deal, I appreciate the help.

Awesome, that was my issue. Now the next issue is my pitman. I have it torqued to 150 and it still has this much exposed. My pitman was snug against my factory gear box so this can’t be correct.

That’s probably my problem. I have the bolt loosened but I failed to realize it went into the groove. I’ll remove it and try again. Thanks!

I’m currently replacing my steering gear box and the steering shaft appears way too shallow on the input shaft. I’ve tried ten ways to Sunday to get it on deeper but it won’t budge. Would someone please send me a pic of their input shaft for me to compare? Thanks

I used to use rock auto all the time but no more. They burned me twice and so I’m done with them. This last issue was a steering gear box they listed as compatible and once it arrived and I saw it in person, it clearly was not compatible. Rock auto wanted to dispute the return and shipping...

I’m in my search for an engine and came across S and J. I think they’re based out of Spokane WA. Reviews are missed so I’d rather see if anyone here has dealt with them. https://www.sandjengines.com/ Thanks.

Quick update for anyone who finds themselves in this situation. A reservoir for a 2002 Honda Civic works.

Whelp, my plastic weld did not hold. I appreciate the offer to dig one up but I’m at the point of accepting that I now have manual steering. If I were to spend anymore time and money on this and have a replacement reservoir break, I might go postal. 🤪 I guess I just need to get serious about an...

Thanks a lot. I’ll let you know.

Update: JB weld didn’t even hold well enough for me to attach the hose. Tomorrow I’ll hit up a salvage yard and if they don’t have one I’ll try a plastic welder from Harbor Freight.

Worse case, I have manual steering. I know that’s bad for the pump but quite frankly, I’m hoping to replace the engine and transmission at some point anyways.

I’m finding repair videos where they use a reservoir from a Honda. I can find them on eBay but they list for over $100 and I can’t bring myself to pay that price for a little plastic tank. I’m crossing my fingers on the weld and I’ll keep looking for a used one from a parted out 2.5.

Whelp, my power steering return hose developed a hole and blew out all the fluid. Fairly simple fix, just replace the hose. Right? Until this happens… That little sucker broke off the bottom of the reservoir. A part that is seemingly impossible to get for a 2.5. So, after scouring the internet...

Replaced my MAP sensor and boy was it a pain in the ass. Two simple bolts and a little rubber tube. Top pic shows where the sensor is located. Getting hands and or tools in there sucks majorly. Bottom pic shows where the tube connects. You have to feel it because there’s no way you can twist...

I don’t have to imagine it.
