This review is from: Mishimoto MMRT-PSA Aluminium Power Steering Reservoir Tank (Automotive)
After Receiving the product I noticed the very sloppy thread mating in the inlets. The inlet and welded on bung are not the same thread, just close enough to give you a false sence of security. The unit began leaking immediately. I removed, cleaned the threads and installed thread tape. This did not work. I then tried thread sealant compound, still did not work. After careful examination, I notice the tank is chromed aluminum not steel. I tried a last ditch effort to fix the leak and the threads stripped rather easily. Also the bolt holes that hold the bracket go into the resivoir, and also leak fluid out the top. Very dissappointed considering the high price of the product
