Use RTV Silicone Instead of the grease
Cost like little over $8 link below
shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/p...
Why; because after a long while (about a month) of driving the Noise comes back with the grease
I show how to get rid of the knocking shuttering noise most Toyota Camry make when you go over 60, or press the brake after do 60 or just even hitting a bump
It's not a hard job it just take a lot of parts to come off just to get to it which I show you how, inorder to save you over $700

To be able to deliver such a high-quality instructional video from the parking lot of an auto parts store is most impressive. Well done, sir! You saved me $700.
You don't need to remove the column from the shaft! Just follow these instructions, lower the entire column leaving the steering shaft attached. With a slight rotation will come down far enough to easily get the three bolts off to remove the motor. Vacuum out the old pieces, install new part and reverse everything. Also, the black plastic air vent doesn't just pop off...it broke one of my clips. Use a small flat screwdriver on the very top of the plastic vent you will feel a slot, pry gently up and the part will release.
Otherwise, all his instructions are spot on. Thanks for making this it really helped me especially seeing how each electrical connector came off. I completed in about 2 hours going very slow.
Man you are very soft spoken, but able to deliver step by step results on a steering motor. You sir deserve the best in life.
Excellent Job. This man did this job 99% One Handed!!! Same issue with our 2015 Avalon
Great video, whatever he doesn’t show can be completed with common sense. Lifesaver indeed
This guy saved me so much money. After being told it was the suspension, then intermediate shaft, and then tire rods, I stumbled across this video. I bought the part for $5 from Toyota and did it myself. Hardest part was taking off the air vent but other than that took me 4hrs and got an alignment afterwards. Thank you so much for a great video and saving me so much money
Please where did you buy that part. I seriously need it
Could u please tell me what the part name is or the part number
Bro i just changed all suspension in my car because of this
I changed lint rod suspension and suspension mount … they told me it was bcz that … after all done still the noise is there 😢… now they told it’s from steering wheel motor I have to change all of that ….
@@wilsonemeka1833buy it from the dealer. Less than $10
The rattle noise was driving me crazy. It sounded like it was coming from behind the instrument cluster. I followed the instructions in the video, and when I opened the motor, sure enough, green plastic pieces were everywhere. Cleaned and greased. Put back together, and noise rattle is gone. Heck of a mechanic. Great video.
Dude! Fantastic video! This noise has been driving me nuts ever since I bought my '17 Camry 4 years ago. I JUST figured out it was the steering column yesterday and as soon as I searched 'steering noise' instead of 'dash rattle' your video came up. Mad props for your skill and knowledge and for filming the entire process. As others have said HUGE bonus for doing it in an auto parts store parking lot. A+ !!!
Brother, I chased this noise for years. Thanks for the great video.
Great video, I just did this job today in my shop. Instead of using the grease or silicone, you can just buy the new bushing for $17.00. The grease will push out and the silicone you will have to wait for it to set up and cure before using it or it will be a short term fix because the clearance will push out again. I shortened the entire process. I pulled the covers and removed the air con vent. That was the hardest part of the job. I disconnected the two wires on the right side by the vent that he shows in the video and pulled the black loom out of the connecter at the same place. the whole assy will just drop to the floor at that point. You don't need to disconnect any of the wires going to the steering wheel or remove the steering assy from the car. Just undo the four veritical 12mm mounting nuts and set the unit on the floor board. Unbolt the three bolts he shows in the video remove the wore out damper and replace. I love watching these videos J C it was the only one out there that let me see where all of the components were before I got into it.
So Iam having the same issue called Toyota and they told me about those bushings needing to be replaced I just hope they don’t charge me and arm and a leg for the job Iam no mechanic so I won’t be able to try this out lol
Another option could be to replace the damper part. It is officially called “DAMPER, ELECTRIC POWER STEERING MOTOR SHAFT” with the part number 4525428040 corresponding to Camry LE 2012-2017. MSRP from the official Toyota Parts website at the time of writing this is $6.09.
Same part number fits many other Toyota non-Camry models from 2012 up to at least 2022. Just in case, don’t blindly trust me and buy the same exact part before making sure on the website it is compatible with your car’s model/year. I’m just a stranger on the internet sharing what helped me find the part for my car.
Hey there, I’m having a similar issue, everything suspension wise looks good underneath the car, and the video would make sense for what sound is coming from my steering wheel, except that I don’t know what part specifically, I am trying to fix or what it is called. The sound gradually gets louder by the day, is it then unsafe to drive?
@@sierracarver98don’t think it’s unsafe but the part is called the steering motor dampener it’s 6 dollars should cost 2 hours labor at most
Thank you much for this video. I just did this repair this morning with guudance of this video. The issue is fixed!!!! Yes, I did use RTV silicone + lithium grease. Noise is gone, wife is happy, and we all know that happy wife equals happy life.
Yea your so right happy wife happy life, I'm happy I was able to help 👌
Amazing! I had the same issue in my car. I replaced every part on my steering wheel, but nothing! I went to several mechanics, and nobody knew what was going on. Then, your video appeared on my social media out of the blue, and you saved my life. I was about to sell my car for a bargain. Thank you so much.
Loved your video! Very informative am ready to do it myself with a $7.00 can of grease or the $12.00 factory replacement part!! 👌👍
I followed your instructions and noise is gone, I just want to acknowledge that the fact you did most of this with one hand is super impressive! I didn’t have to do the final part where you separated the piece with the flat head and hammer i just replaced the part after I dropped the column. But great video , can’t believe how well you short it while doing the job man. 5stars
Addendum- I do want to warn y’all, I did mess up by snapping a bolt in half bc the nut stripped and I tried using a different nut. On the reenforcement bar column , lucky I had enough bolt left to add another nut to secure it enough, I know I might pay the consequences later, that piece isn’t sold separately it’s 799.00 usd. But if I can save y’all that money I hope y’all read this warning ⚠️
Ive never once left a comment on a video before, but I have to tell you THANK YOU SO MUCH. After going back and forth as to what this rattle could be and getting quotes of up to $700 to replace the intermediate shaft, I found your video and decided to try this first. I found EXACTLY what you described (broken pieces of the green stuff everywhere) I did however find this piece (damper) at Toyota parts. Piece cost $6. Other than that I followed everything in your video to the minute. No more rattling. Brother you need to be a mechanic for these big Motor Companies. Great job and great tuturiol. Thank you
Do you have the part number?

Excellent video, you are fantastic not only as a Mechanic/Technician but as an Educator. This Mechanic/Technician of over 45 years is Thankful to you for your Expert help!
No problem thanks for the comment and I'm glad I was able to help you out.
You are the best! Very thorough and detailed to the point. I struggle with putting the spline back. Back to you vid and there it was. Just one thing that I came across was that while the steering is out it can move and lock. Insert the key turn and straighten the wheel before reassemble. Awesomeness!
God bless you. I've been looking for this noise for a week already. Changed half the suspension. This video helped me find the problem and fix it.
Great tutorial J C Mechanic Scott! I figured out how to lower the entire steering (12mm nuts X 4) column and it did save me time and a little less disassembly, I added a the GP grease as you suggested to the damper cavity with a new damper and my rattle and knocking has been corrected. Thank you and I appreciate you taking the time to help all of us out, Class Man!
I haven’t watched the full vid but does he show part number? Wonder if this works for a 2009 Pontiac vibe, it’s da same as a 09 matrix
Awesome video! No fancy bs. Just straight to the point. I just ordered the damper. Thank you!
My brother, I am not a mechanic,and I was able to follow your video and fix this problem. Thank you so much for this.
What an incredible video!!!!! This is BY FAR the best how to video I've ever seen!!!! Thank you sooooo much!!!!!
Holy hell. This was the best video and very descriptive in what to do. With this vid i changed it out in under 50 minutes, from start to end...i was using a drill but this man knew what he was doing. Thank you for posting this
Hey thanks alot for the comment I really appreciate it and wow 50 minutes you bet my time dont for get to like and subscribe
Thank you for this thorough and meticulous walk-through. I had no problems thanks to this instruction. I just replaced the damper instead.
My 2012 Scion XB has this very same problem and my local mechanic said it is a steering bushing that is not nut the noise can be annoying. and you video is this exact problem and showing me the fix ... Thank you so much it worried me at first and now I'm relived. this was very well explained. Super good job.! I watched it all the way threw! I think I'm going to tackle mine now.
Dang near best auto fix it video I have seen
Outstanding Job and Explanation on this costly job. You just got me motivated to do this on my own Camry SE. Thank you so much for taking the time to show us your work!
Thank you man, which I did drop the whole unit on Toyota Avalon 2013, it’s heavy and awkward but doable, but without your video I would nt of been able to tackle this job, thanks again👍🏻
And I did just buy the part, 6 dollars for 2 of them
Great video man. I just completed this and it went pretty well. Mine had a couple wire harnesses (blue sheathing) that attached to the back of the steering motor parts but no problem popping those off. Crazy kudos for doing that in the parking lot, cause I was flopping all over the place trying to get my head down under there to see things. Thanks for saving us all a pile of money. As a side note to others attempting it you don't have to disconnect the motor bit from the steering column (the universal joint part) he only did that so he could show us the motor part better. It lowers down enough once you get to that point you don't have to take it off to still easily access the motor.
Just finished this up myself. Thanks for the video, really helped. I was fortunate to be able to purchase the bad part, $8 . It's called the steering motor damper. Saved $550. The hardest part was the stupid air vent. Took me a little less than 2hrs to complete.
Dude thankyou so much! Took me an 1 1/2 hrs start to finish no drill. It’s not very often you get detailed instructions step by step!!! Thanks again
I just finished changing the steering damper in my 2014 Camry. I followed your instructions to the T and finished the job in an hour and a half! The dealer was charging me over $2,000 P/L to get rid of the noise. I did it for $20! 😂😂 You're the best. Thanks!
You’re very good mechanic and teacher. Haven’t had this trouble yet. But will have the knowledge from your lesson. All new vehicles have electric power steering. Thank you
Yea your so right that all the new vehicles have electric power steering nowadays so this video will always be handy
Thank you for this very detailed video. Because of this I was able to replace the damper with your step by step detailed instructions !
This video was great! Thank you so much for uploading this!!! That sound was driving me crazy.
dude awesome job, have one in the shop right now and you nailed the problem.
Thank you, I had this same issue, with this video I fixed it. I bought the part from Toyota for $8.00 saved a ton of money doing it myself. Took me 2 hours (I’m older and don’t move very well) great video!
What is the part number?
Can you share us the part number?
Sir I just got that fixed on 12/6/22
Took me 3 hours
Indeed it was a very high quality instruction manual and helped me a lot. Thanks man. I’m sure you already know that you can buy that piece and don’t use grease.
Lol! First thing I saw was the hammer. “In case anything gets too rough…”
So you can beat the crap out of it? Lol.
Thanks for this. Just started getting the knock. Thought it was something in the steering column or some sort of sway link.
You have a gift!!!! This is the best DIY for this task……Thank you
Thank you Thank you Thank you !
I couldn't have even attempted this with without your step by step instructions , it took me just over two hours and it was not , for me , its a major two hour job and its not simple , but I learned a lot and saved a lot. I bought a new part , my steering is slightly off center but who cares , no noise! ha ha , going to align tomorrow , I will watch any video you put out ! Thanks .
Thank you so much! Your instructions were very clear and you helped me save a lot of money.
Really enjoyed the video. That I subscribed! I like the straight to the point instructions!

But now i feel i have a new car and thanks to you i alredy order a shaft on autozone thank god i dont pay it because not arrived so i want to thank you so fkn much man the best video on TH-cam.
Thank you i really appreciate the comment, and I think that was smart way of doing it as well
Awesome fix video to add to my collection library.... Your instruction is very clear for the job that looks so complicated to me.... Thank you so much !
Hey I thank you for your feedback its always a pleasure to know that I'm helping somebody... do me a favor like and subscribe
Awesome video ! I did this repair and it totally stopped that front end noise. Thank you !
I just did a search about this exact same noise. This is definitely my issue as well. Thank you very much for your help. I have a 2013 Camry as well. Will order the part too
Solid ass video man, mad props for being well informed and sharing your info
Bro I so appreciate the recognition
WTF the dealership quoted me $600 and a brand new intermediate shaft when all I need is a $17 bushing. Glad I never went through with it. I kept pressing them on it and they kept saying my car was safe to drive even though apparently my steering column failing. I keep pressing the guy and he says there is a piece of plastic that is broken that affects the power steering and that it is not a safety issue. Then I find this video and now I've put all of the pieces together.
Thanks for this great video. Much appreciation!
Thanks I was able to fix my 2014 Camry for 12 bucks. Great video.
Damn brother awesome video, and in a Advance parking lot. This video was alot more helpful than some other videos that were done in a actual garage. Thank alot for the help, awesome video, subscribed!
No problem and thanks a lot for the feedback bro
Great job on this video. I’m going to tackle this weekend. Saved me $800 and the little plastic piece cost $20 at the dealer to replace.
👌 appreciate it that's what I'm here for to save you guys and girls money
$800 wow guess Iam gonna have to save up mine is having the same issue smh
Wow. Thank you so much !! It was driving me nuts trying to figure out where that noise was coming from.
Yea trust me I had to take it apart 3x an order to find out the real problem. But at the end of the day happy to help you all out
@@trublu305 btw, they sell the dampener now. It was around five dollars from the dealer. Thanks again for the help.
I really like your video. You are a good Technician.
This is a serviceable part now, I just ordered one from the dealer for a customer in the bay with the exact same sound. Found this video after figuring out the noise was coming from inside the column.
Thanks for the heads up and the comments happy the video helped you out keep me updated
Maan video was very helpful, thank you for your time . RESPECT
I’m surprised the folks at Advanced Auto allowed you to work in their parking lot. You’ve been able to help many Toyota passenger car owners with this problem.
I really appreciate that thanks
@@trublu305 I had a very similar issue with my 2005 Avalon, but it was the intermediate shaft joints that clicked. They had a partial remedy with lithium grease syringe to reintroduce lubricant into the small u-joint. Instead Toyota replaced the shaft with a redesigned shaft/u-joint and I was happy since I didn’t have to pay for parts/labor. I’m surprised you didn’t use lithium grease on that gear though. Are there any Toyota TSBs on this matter/procedure? You should make it a practice to look into TSBs since they often offer a remedy recommend by the manufacturer.
Yea I was just using what I know what was most common that most would be able to pick up. And that's a good question I dont know never look into it
Thanks. It worked for my Camry 2012👍🏼
Super informative video. Kudos, brother!
What a good video. Thanks heaps. Please make more videos, such as camry ABS brakes replacement and may others. Very good learning.
Men thank you so much!!! i was able to fix that issue with 0$ nice and smooth again with no noise you're the best!!!
No problem man welcome to the family of we get it done for cheap🎉🎊 don't for get to like and subscribe
I just want to say a huge THANK YOU for posting this video! My daughter's car is the exact same year, make, and model and also had this same annoying rattle under the dash and steering column. I had already replaced the worn out stabilizer bar links which did not help with this noise. I found your video, ordered the $4 damper part from my local Toyota dealership and spent today fixing it. No more rattle. Yay! Your video was very clear and well made for being able to follow along. Oddly enough, out of all the steps, the one that took me the most time (and cuss words) was taking off and putting back on the stupid AC duct. Its 3 clips are hard to reach and they are non-intuitive to remove. Spent over a half hour just on removal and reinstall. Anyway, your video was a Godsend to us and I want to extend my gratitude for you for taking the time to record it, edit it and share it.
Hey I appreciate it and I almost didnt post the video because it took bout 3 times to take it all apart just to get enough content the first time I was like it had couple unexplained gaps and I really wanted every one to understand that they can do it. And that A/c vent lol I almost broke mine off but since I knew I was being watched I just had to be patient
What’s the part called?
@@jameslasiter7072 This is the part I ordered from a local Toyota dealership:
DAMPER, ELECTRIC POWER STEERING MOTOR SHAFT, Part Number: 4525428040 , Quantity:1 Price:$ 4.12
And it fit my daughter's 2013 Toyota Camry LE perfectly. Hope that helps.
Thank you brother!! Amazing video
Your a great mechanic!
Thank you so much brother! Save me a head ache I was about replace the whole steering rack!
No problem I'm happy you seen the video before you did dont for get to like and subscribe man
Best video out there concerning this issue..God bless you richly bro...you've saved me a whole lot of money And time...this issue has really stressed me out
..Thanks a lot.
Men thanks I really appreciate the comments like and subscribe
I did the grease it didn't work...so I quickly replace with the RTV silicon...now it has reduced...but I think I need to take it apart tomorrow and add more silicon...because I cannot wait for the arrival of the damper here in Lagos.Nigeria.
Thank you bro! Was able to do it thanks to your video with thorough instructions!!
Thank you for saving me 500 dollars for doing the job myself. thanks for saving me so much money in repairs.
Hey no problem man thank for the comment that's what I do it for appreciate you

wow very nicely done not an easy task thanks for posting this 👍
First of all thank you for the video it was awesome! Make sure to count your wire clips under the steering wheel I didn’t and missed two and it would not start. It’s not that bad trust me you can do it.
Awesome video, thank you for sharing. The is defiantly the noise I am hearing.
Thank you so much bro, after watching your video, I did the same thing on Toyota Camry 2012, and that all, the problem solved. thumb up for you.
I just did it yesterday and it worked great, thanks a lot man
Thank you very much. Same model/year, same issue and of course your solution worked.
Hey I'm happy I help out and thanks for the comment love to hear when I help out 😁
Fantastic mate, thanks from Down Under.
This is exactly what i was looking for. I have a pontaic vibe to do the same to tomorrow
Ok thanks for watching and dropping the comment
Thank you for this video,was able to fix that annoying sound..
Awesome work thanks for the DIY it was a great help
Yea awesome I'm happy I was able to help
Thank you. That's a lot of work. Good job.
Hey JC Mech Scott - thanks for this, I've got 2013 Prius with the rattle, been scratching my head about what it could be - can't be rattle in solid steering linkages, because no play at all in wheel, and when rattle started about 10k miles ago, couldn't produce it by wiggling wheel (turning) back and forth (now I can).
This is a great lead (!), and offers possible explanation for my problem - as in your case, rattle/play might be in power assist motor engagement with steering mechanism.
When I first listened and you went for grease, my first question was "did it last?" (grease will degrade...) -- saw the answer later. I like RTV idea, but like replacing part even better - silicon won't be too happy with grease around (need super clean surface to adhere well), and silicon will tear apart easily.
I'm gunna check out Prius configuration and see if this could be it for me also.
Very nicely done!
This was very helpful. Appreciate it Bro
Thank you very very much from Pacific Island ! Your video helped me to save USD1000. Garage wanted to change all the steering column !
Wow im happy my video helped out
@@trublu305 I would like to precise that your repair process also works on Toyota Auris / Corolla. I didn't have RTV Silicone, then i used silicone for bathroom. It seems to work well also. Thank you again for your help.

Great video thanks for this. Going to see if this will fix the noise on my 09 Venza. Subbed.
No problem thanks for watching keep me updated and like and subscribe
Fantastic job you did here! Well done! The part that you replacing cost about $10 on ebay and is called a damper. Some dealers are quick to say the entire column needs replacing. But this is clearly not the case.
Thanks for the name
My friend i was able to find out the noise thanks to you. That piece that is missing the green can be bought seperatlly. Grease fix last me for month and found the part. Just fyi
Hi, first of all, thanks for this awesome video.
Second, I wanna ask if the silicon is good there?
Because it seems that the two pieces of plastic between the green gasket parts dose not need to be as one piece and that what the silicon makes it as one. What am I missing?
thank you so much . Its worked 🎉
Thank you so much for this, i've been hearing this damn noise but dunno what it's..Thank you Problem Solved 😍😍😍
Hey your welcome I'm happy the video helped you out and thanks for the comment
Great job .... THANK YOU !!!!
