I have the same issue but what is the part number. Cannot find it in the steering column parts. Thank you in advance!

Followed your instructions and replaced the coupler bushing , reinstalled everything but the esc light came on after I started the car and no power steering ? The clicking noise is gone though. Any thoughts.

Beautiful build from one huge excursion fan!

When doing this, get u a spare tire and stand on it, it helped me that I started with the tough ones on the driver's side..

Those it make a clunking sound when you drive over bumps and bumpy roads

But if I decide not to fix it is it a safety concern?

Fantastic video

Is this noise evident in consecutive bumps on the road? Like coins clanking?

That's not true with all engines, Toyota has aluminum blocks with steel bores casted into the blocks, when worn out its a throw away, I'm sure there are others.

Sub'd to your channel and love your vids... I have an interesting situation here and this may help others too. Sometimes there is pure gold in the comments.. my 2015.5 silverado dually has a 7-9 inch cognito lift. Adjustable by tightening the torsion bar key preload bolt. Mine is set pretty high....ok now is where i think this gets interesting. If you lift the front of your truck 9 inches and the back only 4(with blocks in back), then you have changed the degree of angle at the front of the driveshaft where it meets the output shaft to be a lesser angle than it was stock or barely at all.(I think) Therfore need to put the small end of the tapered block in the front, wich points the pinion more at the transmission.... in your vid if you were to take the little transmission drawing and "tilt" the front up and the back down a touch that's what lifting only the front of a truck does. Or not lifting the back the same amount as the front. So if you tilt the pinion up meaning thin end of lift block forward then that is the correct installation of the tapered block that comes with the kit. It is in the directions to be installed this way and i have verified this with cognito... now, when i watch your vid i could not for the life of me figure out my situation and how it does NOT seem to jive with your drawings (wich i love because it's visually easier to understand).....i lifted my truck and the driveshaft angle did not seem to droop like you showed . So the rear pinion angle pointed up more was the needed remedy!!? Chime in on this bro, you know your stuff. This kicked my a$$ for days. .. thoughts?

are your brake lines rubbing on your tire? just wondering. i took my truck to Truck Toys to lift the front they just put pieces of spring (4) for the 2" i wanted under the stock spring pack like you said. I already bought stock 2 leaf packs to replace my 3 because the way they were assembled didn't look like i could remove one, so couldnt cut it either. I'm going to have them put them in for me and maybe take out one of the leaf pieces. But in the back I have this same 8 spring set up and instead of buying a new leaf pack i will do what you did. I will try to put something in btwn the springs when i cut tho so i dont' knick the top ones. i think this is a great idea. I don't give a crap if i cant laod my truck with railraod ties anymore or fill it with firewood. I can't lift a tie anymore and I'm done with firewood. Plus i've got this stupid cap I have nowhere else to put that prevents me from putting gravel or much of anything else in there. and, as i stated below in comments, i can always bag it or if i want a smoother ride maybe some Sumoshocks. And if i need more capacity in the future thare are always add-a-leafs. I have been driving this truck for 24 years and i'm tired of it riding like a buckboard. Changing the shocks did absolutely NOTHING. It only weighs 5500lbs with me in it and the back spring pack is rated at 3300 lbs. (thats each, isn't it? but i bottomed them out with the railroad ties).

Nice work man

I am also building something stupid! Love the name man. Thank you for doing this. I have an 05 6.0 getting ready to start a Christmas list. You have helped me tremendously already with this vid. I couldn't find the driveshaft spacer vid. Maybe post a link?

Is it necessary to adapt the diagnosis of the steering column after the change?

Bring it to the rockies once 😂 I've got one and there a joke in the real mountains ⛰️

Nice video! I will be trying this on my next day off.

I have the 2022 Chevy Silverado 2.7 I love it pulls my 18 foot bass boat better than the Chevy Tahoe v8 5.3 I had

Thank you thank you thank you! I initially thought it was the rack and I was so bummed. This video saved my ass! Thank you brother!! 🤙🏻💙

10:21 A $6-7 dollar piece of plastic caused 2011-14 Sonatas and Elantra steering to bind and wander? What about the MDPS programming?

Way to go buddy 👍

Awesome !!!

Hyundai should issue a recall about this. Every Hyundai with electric power steering has this problem. It's a bad design

Yes i have 2014 kia optima and does it have same problem.ill order that part and see whats gonna happen

I never unplug the coil packs, there is no point - just pull them out and leave them plugged in, half the time you try to unsnap them they crack and break anyway, and now you need a new wiring harness

You would've been better off just removing them

I'm so glad I don't have to replace the wrack

Rachet wrench for drive side ignition coil

And trade in value is $10k less because they just dont sell

Fantastic job. TY

Thanks for this video! IMO this is the best video out there for this, showing a more minimal straight forward procedure. Really appreciate it. Just finished successfully replacing the coupler on my Elantra.

Those gears fall apart because they get mad. They get so ornery because they have all them teeth with no toothbrush

My 09 Elantra has been making that noise for a bit and this weekend the EPS and ESC OFF LIGHTS came on. Would that bad coupler be the reason for the lights to come on? And if I understood correctly it's not a safety issue that's going to cause me to lose steering or anything like that? I plan on fixing it but will probably be another week or 2 and just wanted to reassure myself that I won't lose my steering while I'm driving down the road this week. Or at least not because of that part of the steering anyway lol.

Great video, thank you!

You forgot something at the end the grommet that goes on the driveshaft the seals the top of the water pump housing she may overheat at idle just saying

After 2 inches lift I get vibration when I press my brake it’s very bad and scary

I think I'm giving up on this one! I took a while to find the 14 mm nut and been trying for a while to get it to budge. It's like it was put on with an impact wrench. I fear stripping or breaking the head from the nut.

Whould that cause a misfire and white smoke at 2000 to 2500 rpm and no power i have a p0603 cose and a cps code

Could a faulty steering flex coupler cause the EPS light to turn on? As I had this issue for a while but one morning I started my car and the light just turned on. Power steering fluid is good power steering works but clunk is always there. I also removed the steering shaft u joint thinking that was the issue only to realize that the clunk was still there. Let me know please.

Would never buy a 4cyl in full size truck. 5.3/6.2 all day.

Good video and great camera work! But how many elbows do you have on that arm?!?! I just did this job on my truck and my hand does not fit anywhere close to the sensor like yours did. The damn job took me about an hour! but a lot of that time was getting up and down off the floor to get the right tooling, then getting the Kroil as the bolt was stuck! Then of course cleaning the dirt out of my eyes as I kept knocking debris off and it landing on my face. (someone should invent some sort of eye protection),. Next time, I'll just bring my truck to you and I'll BS with Uncle Dave~

@buildsomethingstupid does your shifter shaft moves on its on in neutral? mine does and im having trouble with the gears after putting the lower unit back in

Can you not make à steel couple in place of the plastic

Can this be done for rear drum brakes as well?

Look I'm going to try and do this myself. Can u help me by any chance

Uv protection

I want to do this to my truck and add helper bags so when I occasionally tow or haul a light load 200 - 400lbs I can lift the rear with the bags

cool.different ball game on a rh drive uk vehicle though.

Mine didn’t look frayed nor cut anywhere in the column… in fact the original owner tried fixing it.. I cannot find the wire that’s causing my problem 😭

will this make my 7.3 idle like a cammed LS ? 😂😂

Couldn’t give me one
