Review on πŸ”§ Enhance Power Steering Performance with Beck Arnley 044-4000 Power Steering Filter by Robbie Guinn

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent (and necessary) DIY maintenance item

As another reviewer noted, this filter is oddly double-bagged, like a Mann filter in a Beck/Arnley box. Not a big deal as the filter fits my '94 E320 perfectly and does exactly what it's supposed to. A quick picture alongside shows how dirty a filter can be. Used the Dollar Store turkey dipping method to extract the old liquid into an empty mason jar, then inserted the plastic plunger, removed the 10mm lock nut, pulled out the old filter with long needle nose pliers, then turned on the machine and dispensed the wheel a few turns to force the HP pump to swallow additional liquid. Drained almost all of the old fluid (about 800ml) and replaced with almost a full liter of genuine Mercedes fluid available at my local dealership for $10. All in all, a great product for the often-overlooked (and necessary) do-it-yourself service. The steering is now super light and super quiet.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Doubtful
