I did it on a Hyundai Elantra 2012 model, on 2/27/2024, have 185000 miles on it. Good video for this.

That was smart how you explained the reason for the noise. It's not the moving back and forth that is causing it. It is the motor activating and moving in that space that is no longer filled by the coupler since it has basically disintegrated.

This is the third video I watched and by far the best. Thanks for the solid explanations!

Excellent video, thanks! I replaced the coupler in my 2013 Elantra today after watching this video. The only comment I would make is that I tried to reassemble the forward pivot bolt after putting a temporary pin through the adjuster bolt slot to hold the wheel up. You pretty much have to poke the forward end of the column up into position FIRST and then the pivot bolt hole lines up as soon as the wheel is raised into place. Made all the difference after fighting the column while trying to line up the pivot bolt to the column hole.

Thank you so much! There is actually an extended warranty for this, 10 yrs or 100,000, Extended Warranty TXX7, For Elantra years 2007-2015. I received the notice in the mail in year 2017 from Hyundai. Made appointment with dealer to get this fixed!

Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. I'm not DIY'ing the fix, but the ruling out part is super helpful.

I know this is about the steering coupler but the real work was putting that steering column assembly back on. the coupler was simple, but the rest of the work was putting that thing back on. You either need to jack it up or have someone working with you who can put in place while holding it up. Also if your steering wheel is out of place after bringing it down (all the way turned to the side) it might be locked in place and you have to put the key in and unlock the steering wheel. The steering column might be out of place too--unlock the steering. But I finally got it down tho. Made sure I checked everything is in place before putting everything back together. THanks for the video.

Thank you so much! Saw another video where they didn’t explain or back out enough to see where they are

This is an amazing video! I have had the knock for about a month and have just procrastinated fixing it. I am just mad that I didn't find this simple fix sooner. I was so worried I was gonna have to make a drastic repair to my Elantra.

Thank you so much for showing the whole process and the part number!!

Bruh.. Still dirty from just finishing this job on a '13. This vid is great for the disassembly. Thanks @Stupid! Tip for the column pivot bolt going back in- There's a flat, horizontal piece of metal, center of where the pivot holes are in the column, facing the engine bay. That flat piece mates up to a rectangle hole in the bracket that the pivot bolt goes through. Stick that in and lift the whole steering column up until you can place the TILT bolt in at the wheel end of the column. Then, go back under and get the pivot bolt aligned. I thought I was going to die under there until I spotted that detail.

The steering motor is activated when it's on, that's why it's not when it's off. I did it and it's very tight fit under the wheel trying to put the assembly back in place.

This is a great video. After watching it, I decided this was just a little more than I could handle, so I took it to the dealer. Hyundai did a warranty extension for this, but you are out of luck if your car is more than 10 years old or has more than 100k miles. The repair cost me $395 plus tax.

Aces! I’m doing mine next weekend. I’ll let you know how I do.

@peterzani7477

Жыл бұрын

Okay. So I did this last weekend. Leave in the first bolt holding the locking mechanism and remove the pivot bolt first. The weight makes it difficult to unscrew and eventually rescrew the pivot bolt in such a tight spot. Also, when taking out the steering wheel screws reset the steering wheel back to 12 o’clock. It can the be slowly pulled off and disconnected from the hub/spindle making it easier to remove the hex bolts on the motor housing. This comes with a warning. If you turn the wheel to far left or right, at any point off the hub, or resetting it back on the spindle, you run the risk of pulling or tearing the airbag tape. This will cause the airbag to be no-op and make the light come on. Hence no passing a state inspection but that a whole different video. Also, make sure you have some bearing grease available. You will see where it goes ie spindle, locking mechanism, and floor steering linkages. Tools. Be sure you have a quarter size deep 14mm socket and a T wrench. The big standard socket workers when you start taking off the pivot bolt but as it unscrews it becomes very crowded under the dash. You will need a shorter, smaller wrench to continue the removal. I’ve never done this an it took slightly longer than 4 hours but bear in mind I went to the store to get the deep socket in this time as well. Good luck and happy trails!

Super good video thanks

One improvement to this great video is, don't take the steering tilt lever bolt out, take the 2 bolts above it out instead.

Good job! Other videos show removal of entire wire harness, yous is better!

great video, im a little unclear on one comment you made when you placed your knee against the tire. Are you saying that if I move the steering and have my knee on the wheel that I should be able to feel that clunk at my knee? Currently when I move my steering wheel I can visually see my tire move slightly but I do not feel that steering issue transferred to my knee.

@buildsomethingstupid1736

7 ай бұрын

So sometimes when an inner tie rod fails you get a lot of movement in the joint. The joint is a ball and socket which can make a noise exactly like the failed rubber piece replaced in the video. If both tires wiggle slightly then most likely it is this rubber bushing because that tiny steering wheel movement was enough to affect change in the tire. If you noticed one tire did not wiggle then a piece of linkage may be worn out.

I just watched your video it was great, approximately how many miles would that neoprene coupler last? Thanks
