RE: {Chrysler 300} Power Steering Pump Cap

You are probably right Bob, I might have instead said that as long as the cap is designed for the power steering neck it will be OK. They are likely all vented and unlike the gas cap.

I’m not so sure about that. When the system get hot it expands, when it cools it contracts. How would it breathe when it’s sealed?

So long as you fo not overfill the reservoir it will not matter whether cap is vented or not.

My caps are not marked as vented but they in fact are. Look at the center of the gasket inside the cap for a small + sign. It penetrates the gasket and is located below a raised area in the outside center of the cap. That area is tall enough to have fractured the metal to create a tiny hole at each end to allow venting.

Hello, everyone:

The service manual and parts catalog do not specify whether or not the cap is vented. I have a cap that is not stamped "vented." Is it okay to use on a '64 pump?

Best,
