Access to steering reservoir - hippieforever3 - 10-03-2008 05:06 This is for an 1984 FC35. We have a slight steering fluid leak and need to check/add fluid. What is the easiest access to the reservoir?

Access to steering reservoir - Kurt Achenbach - 10-04-2008 00:03 Gary, I used to have similar problem with my 83 FC, you may considder creating a vent in the Reservoir lid to eliviate some pressure while your at it.

I have a thread and pictures (here I think but also over on the FC group) explaining how to upgrade the hoses, insulate them, add a cooler and enlarge the reservoir. Fluid runs too hot on the original system. I was able to reduce fluid temperatures by about 100 degrees with the changes I made. kerry 82 FC Denver Access to steering reservoir - hippieforever3 - 10-04-2008 07:26 My reservoir looks different and is loacted differently than your pictures but the combination of the descriptions and your pictures gave me the confidence to throw power steering fluid into it. The squeeling has almost stopped. What FC group? Where? Regards, GPSGary --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, david edwards wrote: > > Power steering systems on FC's are a problem.
