took my 2011 Hyundai Sonata in today at the Hyundai dealership told what I experienced and they said this was the issue I had already watched you video before and read comments to get info low and behold there was a bulletin that just came out for this work to be covered under warranty so no payment for me thank you jesus
Tomeisha Sanders I didn't experience any shaking just the knocking noise when you slightly turn the steering wheel in either direction but you can't hear it while driving tho
I saw this video and was amazed. My 2011 Sonata would make a rattling noise and shake when I hit bumps. The part is $5 but the labor is $400! I called the dealer and mentioned this video. They replaced the bushing for free.
After watching the video i decided to tackle this job myself. Ill see if i can fill in some of the gaps. 1. park your car, push the seat all the way back, make sure steering wheel is straight turn off car. 2. Disconnect the battery. 3. Remove the side panel above the emergency break and door. this part is not visible when door is closed. it can be popped off, i used a plastic putty knive to get my fingers under it. Like i said it just pops off, its V shaped. 4. remove the panel below the steering wheel near your knees. should be 4 screws 2 on the bottom and 2 on the side where you popped the v shaped cover off. be careful when removing as your start button and (my car) traction control button and light dimmer are connected to it. you will need to pop it out and reach in and disconnect those wires. 5. Turn steering left (its hard but can be done) to remove the screw on the right side behind the wheel, you will have to turn just a quarter, not turn it the other direction, half from this position to get to the left screw. Now you will have 1 screw on the very bottom. once these 3 screws are out you can remove the bottom plastic piece from the steering wheel. I would leave the top piece connected. I just used duct tape to hold the top out of the way as i didn't want to peel the cloth portion off. Now you should be able to see everything. 6. You will have to remove 4 bolts off one bracket. this bracket doesn't appear to support anything but the plastic part you already removed. 7 now you will see the 4 bolts that actually hold the steering wheel up. You can remove all 4 without the steering wheel coming down but the steering wheel will move around and change position. Before doing this i would advise in removing the white/beige color fuse block on the left, it has 2 bolts holding it in. You can unplug all the cables as each plug has its own shape so you don't have to worry about labeling them or putting them back in the wrong spot. It took me about 2 hrs to complete. I took lots of breaks as it is hard on your back if you are an old man like me. hahah...but it is really simple. I would do it in the shade and have something for your knees...i used knee pads...but i was on my knees a lot. 8 now you should be at the video...after placing part back in Just go in reverse and you should be good to go. My car is a 2012 Kia Optima SX, problem started at 88k miles. i used this part number from a Hyundai dealership. I believe its the same number for Kia as well. 56315-2K000FFF Price was 2.18 at the dealership.
Hey, thanks for the thorough description. Does this problem also cause a clanking noise just when driving over rough road or only a noise when moving the steering wheel?
Your description was very helpful. Your comment along with the video gave me the confidence to get this annoying problem done myself. I did the job at night and it went well, no problems. Thanks again for going the effort of detailing step by step the process.
Thank you for the excellent guide! Along with this video I fixed this in 1hr, 5 minutes. There was only the middle left of my coupling, everything else was shredded. Ordered the part from Amazon since the dealership isn't really convenient. Was about $6 on Amazon.
yours is one of the best video's I've seen on replacing the coupler. I paid to have mine done by the Kia dealer they were cheaper than the local Hyundai dealer. If people do take the column out they have to be careful to mark the shaft in order to put it back in the exact same place or they will have to pay to have the steering top dead center reset electronically
Hey, thank you for this video. I watched it and ordered the coupler. It was under $6 from Amazon. Took me 30 minutes to change, thanks to your video. It's my wife's car and it's probably still under warranty. But this was less hassle for me to do myself than schedule an appointment, take it up there, wait... I hate going to the dealership.
Thank you so much for this video, I cannot express enough how this helped. The dealership wanted $385.00 to replaced the coupler. I was able to find the coupler online for Uber $10.00 and the replacement process took a little over an hour. Thank you again for making this video available.
Thanks your video of all the others gave me the confidence to do this job myself. Along with the comments of another guy giving all the details I was able to get her done. My bushing was all ate up it was just a circle by the time I got to it. Thank you again!
Hello buddy this is Jessie. Thank for the video, saved me some money. If you're ever down in the Hutto, Texas area, you are welcome in my campfire anytime.
I have a 2011 Hyundai Sonata Limited might be different but I missed a climate control plastic ducting and I broke it off at the bracket when I dropped the steering column some super glue fixed it. One other thing this steering column is quite heavy with that motor attached to it did take some grunt work to put it back on. Thanks for the video
Thank you! Wow did you save me some scratch. Bought the part on Amazon for under $5.00 (Dealer wanted over $13.00). Took about a hour and 10 minutes to install. No noise. Great video.
Thanks so much for the Video it helped allot and I just completed doing my 2011, the hardest part for me was getting the steering back up and aligned with that hook, also all the interference, I found a guy who installed a remote start system in his sonata and he showed how to remove all the panels. Thanks again!!
Thanks for this. I am going to attempt to change mine out this weekend I think. I have got to get rid of that damn noise and 350$ dealer quote for a few dollar part and an hours worth of their time is nuts. Great video!
Thks for the video, I change already do in my Elantra 2012, its very similar...not easy at all but not imposible. tools Torx 30 in small ratchet, screew driver and small hands....regards from Panamá, Central America!.btw I save the $130.00 from the car agency.
Thought this might be my problem due to clunking noise turning the wheel and rattle going down gravel drive as well as shake above 65 mph. Took apart and bushing was fine. Discovered the problem was the bolt on the steering column spindle was about 1/2 turn loose which was just enough to cause the problem. Only noticed slightly loose by wiggling the shaft with the bolt slot facing me.
In case some of you take your car in to the dealer and they say it's your motor or your steering column you should question it. I was told that by a couple of dealers that it was one of those items. I was told it was going to cost me 12 hundred to 14 hundred dollars and in fact it turned out to be the coupler as I suspected. When you have your dealer do it tell them to mark the steering column and keep the wheels and the steering wheel in forward position. I wish I had told my guys to do it, they didn't and it was a mess.
I did this today on a 2011 Sonata. The worse part it taking apart the dash. You will need a round head 1/4" ratchet for the T30 screws. A pear head will not allow you to get close enough because it hits the motor housing. Took maybe an hour and a half to do. The video shows you what you need, but I'll also add the to get the lower steering column cover off, you have to turn the wheel 90 degrees each way to get to the little Phillips screws out behind the wheel.
Hi English Tech Guy. You are truly a Godsend. Before I start this process, I'd like to know how to remove the panel that blocking the steering wheel column, if you don't mind sharing?
yes you do need to disconnect the battery and no I would not disconnect the whole steering column otherwise you will have issues with trying to get the steering wheel straight when you connect it back to the steering rack
The battery advice was priceless. I read a comment on another video where people who hadn't disconnected theirs battery died during this process. Now I'm good and without the crazy noise if I'm going over 55mph.
no you do not need a steering wheel puller make sure you disconnect the battery before starting any work I promise you it is very easy you do not need to disconnect the intimate shaft which is the shaft that connects to the steering rack I know the video isn't great but trying to follow it as best as possible and if you have any questions my phone is on all the time
hey man i appreciate the video. i replaced the bushing successfully, but now the esp light is on and there is no power steering. I'm under the impression that it may need to be programmed or perhaps i pulled a wire loose? any advice would be nice. thank you
Thank you so much man I really appreciate it I was just about to buy a new electric power steering motor This video really helped me a lot and thank you again
Thank you so much for this! I got a new tire put on and they didn't balance it properly. Didn't vibrate really until I hit 70mph which where I usually drive, I don't do very often, though sometimes. However my lazy ass kept putting it off because it wasn't that big of a deal. When I did finally get the tire balanced, vibration was gone, but now there was a clunking sound and it sounded like my car was about to fall apart whenever it hit a bump. It sounded like an expensive problem, so I put this off too since money is tight. So glad to find out that it's pretty easy/quick fix and I managed to get the part for like 5$ USD with free shipping off of ebay. So thanks again for making this video! And to others out there, don't be dumbass procrastinator like me!
how often does this need to done? I like Hyundais a lot, and this doesn't look too bad as a DIY project. But I just bought a '16 Elantra, brand new, and wonder how long before this needs to be taken care of. Plus, you'd think Hyundai would come up with a coupler that doesn't disintegrate.
I am facing the issue of occasional left pulling in Hyundai Elantra after calibrating the steering angle sensor as well, it is any symptom of bad flexible coupling..
Mine is doing the same thing it's a 2012 and it's under a hundred thousand miles so I'm hoping it's covered when I take it to the Hyundai dealership tomorrow.
Hello, This is a great video. Thank you for your efforts. I wonder if this part can work for 2012 Nissan Versa SV? If not, would you please send me the link to that part.
English tech guy, I need to do this and do not what to spend $450 the dealership is charging for this. Some questions I've ran into that maybe you can answer. 1. Do I need a steering wheel puller? 2. If I start messing with breaking down the steering wheel, will I end up deploying the airbag? I'd rather do this myself so any advice will help tremendously! Thank you!!!
Thanks for the help. Does this problem also cause a clanking noise just when driving over rough road or only a noise when moving the steering wheel? My Santa fe has both noises.
English tech guy I'm driving a elantra 2013 and my steering have those knocking sound when I turn left and right . And when I go through a pot hole and through bump... so is it my coupling is broken or steering column? Please I reallly need your help
English tech guy I'm driving a elantra 2013 and my steering have those knocking sound when I turn left and right . And when I go through a pot hole and through bump... so is it my coupling is broken or steering column? Please I reallly need your help
does disconnecting the battery and or fuses mess with the electric portion of the vehicle.. sorry that my not make sense. I'm meaning do i need to have any codes reset or anything? thanks!
Great video !! Besides the fuse box wires you disconnected is there any other on the steering colum I should be aware of to disconnect? Right now I have it hanging on that hook you mentioned, I don't want to drop it and pull a wire, thank you !!
thank you so much for the video, I just have a few questions if that's OK, what plugs do we have to unplug if any? do you have to remove the steering wheel to gain access? thank you
hi i have done everything you said got my new streeing coupler installed hooked everything back up. but i have no dashboard lights or indicators showing and cant get my car out of park any ideas?
I think I am going to give this a shot with my bf this weekend.... wish me luck. Did you just purchase the part through eBay? I know that its similar to the Kia part but every piece is saying its not compatible with my Sonata. Thanks :)
My father has a problem with his 2013 Hyundai Sonata steering. When the temperature gets above 60 degrees the wheel sticks. You constantly have to make adjustments to keep the car going straight on the highway. It's very exhausting if you are on a long road trip. We've taken it to the dealer twice and they tell us there is nothing wrong with it. I wonder if this is what is causing the issue. It's strange how it only happens when it's above 60 degrees.
Wow, I’ve experienced the same thing since I bought my 2013 brand new in late 2012 and all the dealerships I’ve ever been to made me think I was crazy over the years.
Great video! My husband replaced this part this weekend, but got interrupted, so had to complete the job the next day. Now that it's all back together, the car won't start. We tried the brake lights and they're connected. Is it possible that having the battery disconnected overnight, the smart key lost its connection? The fob itself still works (LEDs, etc.) but it doesn't lock or unlock or allow us to start the car. All the dash lights illuminate, but that's it. Any thoughts?
Help! I just did this on my 2011 Sonata and the directions were spot in. Got everything back together and not I have CEL on and there are no codes! I had the negative post disconnected. I tried removing both terminals and the CEL was out for 2 start ups, now it's on again. No codes present. Please help
if you're not getting ignition lights and can not crank the car something somewhere has come unplugged check your brake light switch it will be on your brake pedal if that is unplugged your car will not allow you to come out of Park
I have a 2010 Hyunadai Elantra Touring and this problem started after only 25,000 miles! I've not had it fixed after 3 years since I haven't had the money and can't do it myself after having spinal surgery...and I never received a notice about a recall for this item. I've now had the car for 7 years and still only 40,000 miles. And except for the clunking noise that I can live with, I guess there is no danger in not having it fixed right away? Hope not.
David, I do have the same car and Hyundai extended the warranty of that plastic component to 10 yrs or 100,000 miles. Your dealership can do it and you won't pay a dime!! Also if they run the scanner and they cannot update the software, they will need to replace the entire unit per their RECALL
hi english tech guy, hope ypu can help me out here, i had a hyundai elantra model 2012, sterring coupler problem, and would like to replace it myself, jut one question do i need to unplug all the switch or turn off all the cable to perform this? was worried the system will gone off,, thanks in advance
This was fixed at a dealer in Dubai 6 months ago in a 2013 Santa Fe and the problem has resurfaced, and dare I say it worse than before. First they said it was the steering motor and after a curt call with them (they are known for extracting money for "installing parts that may fix the problem), where they refused to let me speak to the mechanic directly, they settled on changing the bush. The car is back in with them now where they are saying that the bush the rack and the steering motor needs changing...... they seem to have no idea what the issue is or how to do a proper diagnosis. It seems they are just changing parts for the sake of it to hopefully hit bulls eye. They just rang and said no ma'am, steering motor no longer needs replacing..... seriously [slaps forehead].so tomorrow I pick it up with a new rack and bush - wonder how long this fix lasts!Has everyones issue been sorted or has it come back?
i have Sonata 2011 SE with very slight clatter or slack when i drive slowly or park with engine on and keep moving my steering wheel in fast sways(Back&forth) .BUT I CAN FEEL IT ON THE UPPER STEERING COLUMN (close to my hands grip) !! So do You think is still the same issue of yours(Flexible Plastic Coupler) ?
guys can someone please help me. I have the 2015 ultimate 2.0. Bought it in Dec 2015. I feel like I am driving on a skating rink coz the car keeps veering from left to right and sometimes feels like I am driving with just 3 1/2 wheel ( you get a limping feeling on the right side). The dealerships have all figured out a way to just push you away by eithe4r saying that there is no problem or they ask you to duplicate it. Can someone please help me. I am in Canada, Toronto and really want some help please.
English tech guy to avoid ESP light need to remove battery and disconnect all before replace the plastic bush or some needs keep connected. im thinking remove entire steering rack to do easy thanks!
Is it works with the Elantra 2013 ? , because my car has the same problem; I mean can I fix the problem without removing the whole steer? Please reply as soon as possible thanks...
yes. I just replace mine today. I had to remove the steering whee, the fuse box, the switches near the driver's knee (gas, eco, etc.), and of course any connected cables before lowering the rack. Also note that the rack is heavy.. I had to literally bench press it back in place, laying on my back! It took about 2 hours to get the job done.
@@fast68chevy There is not usually a serviceable fuse for A airbag system So the easiest way to do this is a disconnect of the ground a cable and you will be fine
I have the same problem with my 2013 Elantra GT (~84k miles on it). I called the nearest dealer to see if there was a recall or if it's covered under warranty. They said no and it would be $350 to fix. Does anyone know if there is a way to see if the dealer is lying about whether it's covered or not? I don't trust this dealer given past experience. I entered my VIN on the NHTSA website, but it came back as "no recalls". I have dropped it off with my local garage guy who has provided great service (better than the dealer) over the years, and they charge much less per labor hour.
took my 2011 Hyundai Sonata in today at the Hyundai dealership told what I experienced and they said this was the issue I had already watched you video before and read comments to get info low and behold there was a bulletin that just came out for this work to be covered under warranty so no payment for me thank you jesus
lucky you mine aint covered i jave just over 100.000 miles
TMKJG24 did this piece cause your steering wheel to shake with an annoying noise...
Tomeisha Sanders I didn't experience any shaking just the knocking noise when you slightly turn the steering wheel in either direction but you can't hear it while driving tho
TMKJG24 OK I hear that too but I also hear shaking sound when I'm driving..
Tomeisha Sanders you should take it in to be looked at

Hey, thanks for the thorough description. Does this problem also cause a clanking noise just when driving over rough road or only a noise when moving the steering wheel?

Thank you for making this video. I love it when you guys who know stuff share. Really. This is why the internet is awesome. Thank you.

I worked flawless for me, When I open mines up the plastic was completely melted and replaced it . Good as new
I did this today on a 2011 Sonata. The worse part it taking apart the dash. You will need a round head 1/4" ratchet for the T30 screws. A pear head will not allow you to get close enough because it hits the motor housing.

pull airbag fuse.
Thanks for the video! Was able to fix my Kia Optima with your help.
no you do not need a steering wheel puller make sure you disconnect the battery before starting any work I promise you it is very easy you do not need to disconnect the intimate shaft which is the shaft that connects to the steering rack I know the video isn't great but trying to follow it as best as possible and if you have any questions my phone is on all the time
i just swapped em out...all that was left was rubber grindings. def worth it. part was 2.06$.
Thank you I will order the part and have my mechanic fix it asap!! Been looking for a video!!
hey man i appreciate the video. i replaced the bushing successfully, but now the esp light is on and there is no power steering. I'm under the impression that it may need to be programmed or perhaps i pulled a wire loose? any advice would be nice. thank you
Thank you so much man I really appreciate it I was just about to buy a new electric power steering motor
This video really helped me a lot and thank you again
Thank you so much for this! I got a new tire put on and they didn't balance it properly. Didn't vibrate really until I hit 70mph which where I usually drive, I don't do very often, though sometimes. However my lazy ass kept putting it off because it wasn't that big of a deal.
When I did finally get the tire balanced, vibration was gone, but now there was a clunking sound and it sounded like my car was about to fall apart whenever it hit a bump.

how often does this need to done? I like Hyundais a lot, and this doesn't look too bad as a DIY project.
But I just bought a '16 Elantra, brand new, and wonder how long before this needs to be taken care of.
Plus, you'd think Hyundai would come up with a coupler that doesn't disintegrate.
about every 5 years or so. depending on how much you drive it.
This is a recall so the dealer should be doing it for you; however, we are about to be on coupler #3. It lasts about a year if that.
Thanks for the info bro.Went to the dealership and they tried to get me to pay 400 for it to be replaced lol
I am facing the issue of occasional left pulling in Hyundai Elantra after calibrating the steering angle sensor as well, it is any symptom of bad flexible coupling..

no problem I'm just glad I could help you all

Great indepth video, thank you!! I'll be doing mine very soon!!
Great video !! Besides the fuse box wires you disconnected is there any other on the steering colum I should be aware of to disconnect? Right now I have it hanging on that hook you mentioned, I don't want to drop it and pull a wire, thank you !!
they added a recall or bulletin for this
however its only warranted for vehicles under 100.000 miles
You just saved me 300 bucks. Thanks!
Biffcheese Spinoccoli oh sorry did I not tell you the bill of $300 lol😜 I'm glad I could help
DOH!!!
thank you so much for the video, I just have a few questions if that's OK, what plugs do we have to unplug if any? do you have to remove the steering wheel to gain access? thank you
all of them that pug into column and loop across below it too.
hi i have done everything you said got my new streeing coupler installed hooked everything back up. but i have no dashboard lights or indicators showing and cant get my car out of park any ideas?
I would have loved to watch you drop it down instead of talking about it.
I think I am going to give this a shot with my bf this weekend.... wish me luck. Did you just purchase the part through eBay? I know that its similar to the Kia part but every piece is saying its not compatible with my Sonata. Thanks :)
My father has a problem with his 2013 Hyundai Sonata steering. When the temperature gets above 60 degrees the wheel sticks. You constantly have to make adjustments to keep the car going straight on the highway. It's very exhausting if you are on a long road trip. We've taken it to the dealer twice and they tell us there is nothing wrong with it.
I wonder if this is what is causing the issue. It's strange how it only happens when it's above 60 degrees.
dealers ar elazy and put money over safety. its a racket.. they dont care about ppl. they only care about making a buck.,
Wow, I’ve experienced the same thing since I bought my 2013 brand new in late 2012 and all the dealerships I’ve ever been to made me think I was crazy over the years.
Can the power steering stop functioning altogether as a result of the failed coupling?
Great video! My husband replaced this part this weekend, but got interrupted, so had to complete the job the next day. Now that it's all back together, the car won't start. We tried the brake lights and they're connected. Is it possible that having the battery disconnected overnight, the smart key lost its connection? The fob itself still works (LEDs, etc.) but it doesn't lock or unlock or allow us to start the car. All the dash lights illuminate, but that's it. Any thoughts?
thats why you only pull airbag fuse,, not whole battery cable
Thanks man very helpful having the same problem
Help! I just did this on my 2011 Sonata and the directions were spot in. Got everything back together and not I have CEL on and there are no codes! I had the negative post disconnected. I tried removing both terminals and the CEL was out for 2 start ups, now it's on again. No codes present. Please help
This worked great. Thanks it saved me a ton of $$$$
no you do not need to worry about that as you are disconnecting the battery
if you're not getting ignition lights and can not crank the car something somewhere has come unplugged check your brake light switch it will be on your brake pedal if that is unplugged your car will not allow you to come out of Park
ign switch wirign plug.
I did the same same thing but now my eps light is on and my steering wheel is locked! Any clue what I did wrong!!
Angelo Wheeler did you ever figure out the problem? Having the same issue eps light on and tight steering wheel
I have a 2010 Hyunadai Elantra Touring and this problem started after only 25,000 miles! I've not had it fixed after 3 years since I haven't had the money and can't do it myself after having spinal surgery...and I never received a notice about a recall for this item. I've now had the car for 7 years and still only 40,000 miles. And except for the clunking noise that I can live with, I guess there is no danger in not having it fixed right away? Hope not.
David, I do have the same car and Hyundai extended the warranty of that plastic component to 10 yrs or 100,000 miles. Your dealership can do it and you won't pay a dime!! Also if they run the scanner and they cannot update the software, they will need to replace the entire unit per their RECALL
Thanks for the info...I'll have to check with them. Although it IS Florida...and they'll try and get away with anything!
hi english tech guy, hope ypu can help me out here, i had a hyundai elantra model 2012, sterring coupler problem, and would like to replace it myself, jut one question do i need to unplug all the switch or turn off all the cable to perform this? was worried the system will gone off,, thanks in advance
good video. that part is cheap. under $5 at dealer. for hyundai ellantra.
does the hook that you showed effect the column coming down?
High I wondering if you know where is the flasher relay I cant find it in my sonata 2011 or any info anywhere!
They tried charging me $300 to replace that little piece of junk in my Veloster.
Eps light, is there a common fault that activates the light?
it's been a while but if you didn't unplug anything from fuse the box what did you unplug and did you disconnect the battery
Is this what causes the bumping knocking noise in the steering column when hitting bumps or turning the steering wheel left then right?
Yes
This was fixed at a dealer in Dubai 6 months ago in a 2013 Santa Fe and the problem has resurfaced, and dare I say it worse than before. First they said it was the steering motor and after a curt call with them (they are known for extracting money for "installing parts that may fix the problem), where they refused to let me speak to the mechanic directly, they settled on changing the bush. The car is back in with them now where they are saying that the bush the rack and the steering motor needs changing...... they seem to have no idea what the issue is or how to do a proper diagnosis. It seems they are just changing parts for the sake of it to hopefully hit bulls eye. They just rang and said no ma'am, steering motor no longer needs replacing..... seriously [slaps forehead].so tomorrow I pick it up with a new rack and bush - wonder how long this fix lasts!Has everyones issue been sorted or has it come back?
thanks for the good explanation
Nice Job ! Great Video
i have Sonata 2011 SE with very slight clatter or slack when i drive slowly or park with engine on and keep moving my steering wheel in fast sways(Back&forth) .BUT I CAN FEEL IT ON THE UPPER STEERING COLUMN (close to my hands grip) !! So do You think is still the same issue of yours(Flexible Plastic Coupler) ?
yes the bushing does this and is bad,. replace it
hellow, can someon please tell me what could happen if this is not fixed?
easiest way to check is to put your brakes on and see if your brake lights come on
whats the part called? I'm at auto store trying to find it
did you take the fuse box out like I did?
guys can someone please help me. I have the 2015 ultimate 2.0. Bought it in Dec 2015. I feel like I am driving on a skating rink coz the car keeps veering from left to right and sometimes feels like I am driving with just 3 1/2 wheel ( you get a limping feeling on the right side). The dealerships have all figured out a way to just push you away by eithe4r saying that there is no problem or they ask you to duplicate it. Can someone please help me. I am in Canada, Toronto and really want some help please.
no just make sure you disconnect the battery 1st put it all back together then connect the battery backup
English tech guy what happens if you dont disconnect the battery
pull airbag fuse, no need to pull whole battery cable
thanks mon, saved me some diag time
What is the part called or do someone have the part number.
English tech guy to avoid ESP light need to remove battery and disconnect all before replace the plastic bush or some needs keep connected. im thinking remove entire steering rack to do easy
thanks!
pull air bag fuse only
Why does it ware down, mines is doing that and it is only 2012. I wish I could fix this myself, deal wants almost $269 to fix. I wish you was in PA
they know about this problem and warranty covers it no money out of pocket
very helpful partner
hundred percent it's the rubber coupler
Is it works with the Elantra 2013 ? , because my car has the same problem; I mean can I fix the problem without removing the whole steer? Please reply as soon as possible thanks...
Mohammed Laith even the part number is the same
English tech guy Thanks
After putting everything back did your EPS come on? I have a 2011 Kia Optima hybrid
You may of left something unplug
Brill Mate, cheers.
no u will not lose control of the vehicle this is just a rubber buffer there maybe play in the steering but you wouldn't lose control
I need a mechanic to that problem sonata 11 NY ?? help
do you have to remove the steering wheel to lower the rack
yes. I just replace mine today. I had to remove the steering whee, the fuse box, the switches near the driver's knee (gas, eco, etc.), and of course any connected cables before lowering the rack. Also note that the rack is heavy.. I had to literally bench press it back in place, laying on my back! It took about 2 hours to get the job done.
Does this problem also cause a clanking noise just when driving over rough road or only a noise when moving the steering wheel?
steering back and forth clunk clunk in steering wheel.
I'm figuring you left something unplugged
My eps light is on , if I change this part will this fix the problem
No I don't think so
no i left the fuse box in and all my wires are connect
did you take off the steering wheel or multifunction switches?
no just take the 4 bolts that hold the steering wheel up and gently lay it down. everything on the steering wheel is fine.
Someone told me that the airbag had to be disengaged before you can do this. Is that correct?
you do not need to worry about that as you are disconnecting the battery
@@Strangerthingsvehicles just the airbag fuse.
@@fast68chevy There is not usually a serviceable fuse for A airbag system So the easiest way to do this is a disconnect of the ground a cable and you will be fine
Hyundai and KIA , locking handle MDPS is very very dnagerous....
Where can I buy the part and what is it called please let me know thanks
i got mines at a hyundai dealer it was about 4 bucks.
I have the same problem with my 2013 Elantra GT (~84k miles on it). I called the nearest dealer to see if there was a recall or if it's covered under warranty. They said no and it would be $350 to fix. Does anyone know if there is a way to see if the dealer is lying about whether it's covered or not? I don't trust this dealer given past experience. I entered my VIN on the NHTSA website, but it came back as "no recalls". I have dropped it off with my local garage guy who has provided great service (better than the dealer) over the years, and they charge much less per labor hour.
There is a recall but only if your car has under 100,000 miles.
dealer will try to avoid doing it. they dont make nay money.. they are lazy.. tell them they HAVE to do it.
what year sonata is it
What are the tools needed?
12mm and 14mm sockets, socket wrench and phillips screw driver. a socket extension will make it easier as well.
my one is a 2013 but late 2011 - 2014 all the same
Got a part number?
