Does my KSDP have a power steering reservoir?

[noserider]

I was driving the MH today and heard/felt a slight noise in the power steering when I turned. I heard it once before a few weeks ago but not again until today. It only occurs in a turn. Hard to describe the sound. It's not the typical whine noise associated with automotive pumps that have bad bearings or a loose belt but has a different sound completely but I'm at a loss of words to describe it. Maybe like some granules of something being shaken. I looked in my Freightliner manual that came with the coach and it describes a power steering pump reservoir with a cap that has a dip stick attached. I don't know where that is and actually did not think there was one. I was thinking the hydraulic reservoir in the back next to the radiator supplied all hydraulics. I really need a manual. I have the Freightliner XC chassis. Anyone??

I believe you are correct that the hydraulic fluid for your steering comes from the reservoir by your radiator.

Might want to ask in FL Forum may get your answer there.
