I broke my powersteering cap the lower portion of it that has a small black plastic circle doing something. I thought it was like 10 bucks at dealer (kings nissan) more like 52.88. Do I need to fix it? Or should I just leave it alone. Steering feels loose maybe I am anticipating somethings wrong?

You could try duct tape to hold the damaged cap in place.

The part that is broken goes into the cup and is submerged into the powersteering fluid would krazy gluing it help? Dont want no residue of it ending up ps unit. thank you

Figures, parts from the dealers are always a rip off.

I don't think Ethyl Cyanoacrylate adhesives (Krazy Glue, Super Glue, etc.) bond well to that kind of plastic.

Would epoxy work? any suggestions on what to use. I was thinkin of puttin small strips of alumnium up and down the crack, would this work?

Your initial post in this thread said the cap is broken, but you also mention lower part. Is the cap broken, or is it the filler neck of the reservoir which is broken? If the reservoir is broken we can understand the dealer's $52.88 price. An auto parts recycler (junkyard) is a good source for a used reservoir.

I understand your wish to repair the broken part, rather than replace it. However, I don't know of any adhesive or cement which is suited to this purpose.
